For his new film, Aamir Khan has gone in for a “completely different look” thanks to a nose piercing and two piercings on his right ear.

Now, HT has learnt that Aamir has gone in for a “completely different look” thanks to a nose piercing and two piercings on his right ear. “His character demands it and it’s just a glimpse of what he has done physically,” says an insider. It’s been a month since Aamir went for piercings but it’s “still painful” and the actor has been experiencing “a few painful and sleepless nights”.

Aamir Khan’s nose-pierced look has already created a lot of intrigue.

“It’s well-known how painful nose piercing can be. Not many opt for it to avoid the intense pain. Also, he has gone for two upper ear piercings, which also cause a lot of pain as they have been done on the cartilage bone. On the sets, he screams in pain even when someone touches it by mistake. He isn’t able to sleep on his right side at all,” says the insider.
