For Aamir Khan, the only type of communication as an actor that counts is through his films and TV shows and not through statements made on social media. The actor went on to reveal that he only checks his social media accounts occasionally and more specifically before the release of any of his films in order to understand the way in which his film or his roles have been perceived by the audience. He confessed that he reads the comments by the users in order to take in the positive and constructive criticism from his audience.

He also spoke about how he appreciates it when people give honest feedback on his films by commenting on how they have perceived the character played by the actor. He admitted that with positive comments, he tries to figure out a way to make his films and his performance better thereby avoiding and turning a blind eye towards negative criticism.
