Aamir Khan feigns nonchalance about Sitaare Zameen Par's declining box office numbers

Aamir Khan addressed the media at the screening of the film in the National Capital. He told the camerapersons, “All of us are delighted. This film, which we have made with so much love, is touching the hearts of people so deeply, and people are liking it so much. What happens is that when we make a film, until it is released, it is ours. Once released, it belongs to the audience, and the audience takes the film where they want to. So whatever movie it is, it belongs to all of you. Thank You So Much (sic).”
