The Great Indian Kapil Show: Aamir Khan reveals behind-the-scenes details of his iconic naked scene in PK | Hindi Movie News

During his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Aamir Khan discussed his iconic naked scene in the Rajkumar Hirani directorial PK. He revealed details about preparing for the scene, where he takes off his costume in the film while holding a radio to cover his modesty.
Speaking about his initial apprehension regarding the scene, Aamir said, “Raju and Abhijat wrote a story that an alien comes, he is naked anyway.He sees a human and runs towards him. And the human also thinks who is this man? The human takes his remote control and the radio comes in his hand. So I asked Raju, ‘How will you shoot practically? Are you going to make me naked or what? And he said, ‘No, I will make a short strap for you but it can only be forward, not backward.”
Aamir said that Hirani made him wear an abdomen guard while they were shooting in the middle of the desert in Rajasthan, which was quite out of the way. Then Hirani assured him that he will keep the set clean, mentioning that even people from their unit will not be there.
Recalling the challenges during the shoot, Aamir mentioned the discomfort of running with the makeshift costume and eventually deciding to discard it to ensure a better performance. “After a couple of attempts, I told Raju, ‘Remove it, I have to give the shot properly.’ So I threw it away. And I ran,” he said.

Aamir added, “The reason for that was I used to get embarrassed while shooting. I used to think I will look weird on the set. We are not used to it. No one is used to it. There is a dialogue in PK, that ‘a crow wears a suit.’ I was thinking how to do it. I used to get tensed. How will it happen? Everyone must be watching. I used to get embarrassed. But when I came on the set, I had to work. And my shot was not good. So I said, Raju, these are unimportant things. Even if you see me naked, it’s not a big deal. I need a shot. At that time, I didn’t feel embarrassed at all. And later I did it, it didn’t matter.”

For the uninitiated, Aamir’s portrayal of PK received widespread acclaim for its nuanced performance and ability to convey deep philosophical messages with a blend of humour and sensitivity.
The film follows the story of PK, an alien stranded on Earth, who questions religious beliefs and societal norms while trying to find a way back to his planet. It sparked discussions about religious tolerance, cultural diversity, and the power of questioning established beliefs.
