This is Mom's land: Aamir
Like Amitabh Bachchan or Vijay Dinanath Chauhan said in Agneepath — Maa ko uska gaon lautana hai, Aamir Khan who is promoting his latest film landed up in Varanasi incognito to try and buy Khwaja Manzil, the building where his mother Zeenat spent her childhood.
Reports have it that the building now belongs to a Sikh gentleman and the Bollywood superstar would have to do some hardcore negotiating to try and buy back a property that he is so keen on.

Aamir disguised himself as a Banarasi Babu and visited Tiliya Nala, the locality his mother had spend her child hood in. He left his security behind, took a boat ride in the Ganges, and stayed at derelict hotels because he didn’t want media attention at least till such time as he actually left the city.
The actor who is very close to his mother, admitted, “I’m very much a momma’s boy” and said it was an emotional journey for him. He also visited Dasaswamedh Ghat where his mother went for boat rides when she stayed in Varanasi.
