Aamir Khan met Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on September 7 to wish him on the birth of his second grandchild. Sources say the two have known each other since they were children and share a long‑standing personal bond. The meeting was described as a personal gesture, with Khan extending his congratulations on the family milestone. Raj Thackeray had welcomed his second grandchild earlier that day, marking another generation for the Thackeray family.

The visit underscores how personal relationships can cross the worlds of cinema and regional politics in India.
