The actor-director and the Pakistani cricketer bump into each other during the Hajj pilgrimage and a camaraderie develops between them

The world is a small place. And for our jet-setting celebrities, it is even smaller! So it comes as no surprise when they bump into each other while trotting the globe.In a similar manner, Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi bumped into none other than Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, as both of them were performing Hajj. Aamir, who left Mumbai for the pilgrimage along with his mother Zeenat on October 19, met Afridi in Mecca city on October 22.

The duo was also captured by fans eating together and listening to popular priest Maulana Tariq Jamil who gave a sermon on the benefits of the pilgrimage. While Afridi did not continue the Hajj and left for Pakistan, Aamir continued his pilgrimage along with his mother.

Aamir is on a 14-day pilgrimage to Mecca, and sent a message yesterday that he would remember late filmmaker Yash Chopra – who passed away on October 21 – in his prayers. Aamir is currently doing Dhoom:3 with Yash Raj Films and was close to Chopra, though he couldn’t make it to his funeral because of the pilgrimage.

      to insallah file duniya me bhi deen badega
      aamir khan ko dhaek har salman saif sharukh jaige hajj par…..

    Nice to know that aamir met maulana tariq jamil , I pray to allah that haj of aamir turns to be haj-e-mabror
    i.e. allah accepts his and the sign of that is man keeps away from the sins he use to perform before hajj, may allah give hidayat to all mankind

    His all works are publicity stunts.He is liking his pictures to gain popularity.But when in case of film he will put everything so secret, infact in safe.I think he should put his mind in pray. Not in cheep stunts.

    Why is Aamir leaking his pics & videos from Hajj? Why can’t he do his piligrimage without involving media? Very pathetic to use Hajj for publicity!

        He can keep off media if he wants to. But he won’t do it because he’s publicity-hungry!
