‘Ab tak ki sabase kharab acting by Aamir Khan’: Actor leaves fans unimpressed as he recreates Magnus vs Gukesh meme

Aamir Khan made the reel with influencer Prakhar Gupta while poking fun at the "perfectionist" tag. Fans were not too impressed.

Actor Aamir Khan has recreated the Magnus Carlsen’s table slam moment after losing to Indian chess prodigy D Gukesh, in a new reel. Social media users were caught off guard, with many commenting that they weren't ready for seeing Aamir recreating memes.

The reel came with title, “When you ask Aamir to trade perfection for a list of back-to-back movies”.

Aamir recreates the viral moment

Aamir recently met influencer Prakhar Gupta for a conversation while promoting his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par. And they took a moment to recreate the reel while poking fun at the "perfectionist" tag.

The reel came with the title, “When you ask Aamir to trade perfection for a list of back-to-back movies”. In the reel, Prakhar is seen handing Aamir several pages of script, and Aamir's reaction transforms into mock frustration, humourously exaggerating his focus on being a perfectionist. Aamir is seen banging his fist on the table and then dramatically stomping around Prakhar.

It is a recreation of Magnus Carlsen table slam moment, which had left the internet chuckling earlier this month. D Gukesh scripted history at the recently concluded Norway Chess 2025, where he claimed his maiden classical win vs Magnus Carlsen. And a moment from a match between Magnus Carlsen and D Gukesh went viral, where the Norwegian was seen slamming a table after losing to the Indian chess prodigy.

 

Fans react

The video featuring Aamir has tickled a few fans but left many more disappointed with his acting. “Aamir khan ko itni gandi acting karte kabhi nahi dekha (never seen Aamir Khan doing bad acting),” wrote a person. “Bahut hi bakwaas acting (Such bad acting),” said another person. “Amir is overacting for the first time,” read a comment.

“Ab tak ki sabase khrab acting by amir… (Aamir's worst acting job yet),” said another person. “Everyone in this trend acted better than the perfectionist actor,” noted another person.
