A few days back Indian actor Aamir Khan (who is known for his Mr Perfect attitude, only Lord knows why) was attending the wedding ceremony of the son of his friend Ram Lakhan (a rickshaw driver). The family of his friend had set up a special stage for Aamir K. When the actor tried to comfortably perch himself on a sofa placed on the stage, the wooden framework snapped like a piece of thread and came down. Aamir K too fell off it in a pretty ungainly manner. The quick thinker that he is, the actor got up in no time and smiled as if someone had pulled a prank on him.

Aamir sahib, age is a terrible thing. If this had happened 10 years ago, you’d have sensed the rickety dais and moved away from it in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Not anymore.
