Mumbai: Aamir Khan believes that the more languages one knows, the better.

During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Mr Perfectionist decided to shed light on the benefits of knowing multiple languages.

He was asked about the importance of learning multiple languages for an artist to enhance his work.

Speaking to IANS, the ‘Laagan’ actor said, “I feel, whichever field you are in, the more languages you know, the more beneficial it will be. So, it is in your interest to know as many languages as you can. I am a little weak when it comes to languages. It takes me a lot of time to learn a new language.”

Aamir revealed that he did not know Marathi till the age of 44, and he learned his Rajyabhasha after that with the help of a teacher.

“When I was around 44, I realized that I do not know the Marathi language – although Marathi is taught in school, I did not pay much attention. I felt that it was a matter of shame that I did not know my Rajyabhasha. Then, I hired a Marathi teacher and I learned Marathi from him. Now, I am able to speak decent Marathi, ” he revealed.
