Aamir touched by Salman Khan’s paintings

Salman Khan is at it again. He has let the artist in him take over. This time for good friend Aamir Khan

As a gesture of his affection for Aamir, Salman has painted two portraits of the former on black canvasses, showing his interpretations of the character Aamir plays in his new film — one represents a stately figure, the other symbolises angst. While Salman has been known to paint fellow actors, this is the first time that he has painted an actor’s character connected to a film. It took him around two weeks to finish it.

They will be unveiled today at a multiplex by Aamir’s co-star Asin who will next be seen romancing Salman in London Dreams. Aamir, who was keen that his co-star do the unveiling, said, “I had absolutely no idea that Salman is such a talented painter. He has made two paintings of me, one is a more real representation and the other, which I am even more impressed with, is an impression of my new look. He has an amazing sense of aesthetics. I was very touched by his gesture.”
