Making a rare presence at an award ceremony tonight along with his wife Kiran to collect the NDTV 'Indian Of The Year in Entertainment' prize, he said "I don't hate award ceremonies. I actually miss them now that I have stopped attending them. I hear that many funny things happen there." Aamir was presented the award by none other than politics 'own funny man' Railway Minister Lalu Prasad.

Asked about Akshay Kumar's recent comments at the Star Screen Awards where he had said that the recognition of actor of popular choice should have gone to Aamir, the "Ghajini" star said, "It was really sweet of Akshay to say that. It really touched my heart." He also did not miss an opportunity to address the politicians on this occasion.
