Amazing as this may sound, Aamir Khan has achieved what all of Salman’s family and a long trail of girlfriends couldn’t. He, Aamir, has succeeded in convincing him, Salman, to give up drinking. And though it is for the duration of the film Veer, who knows? It could become something permanent or at least semi permanent.As our source explained, “Aamir and Salman are good friends who spend a lot of time together. It isn’t surprising to see Aamir at Salman’s home and vice versa. In fact Aamir and Kiran Rao often go over to Salman’s place for dinner.” It was on one such occasion that Aamir spoke at length to Salman about his drinking habits.The flash point for Aamir came when he saw a picture of Salman in Veer and observed that he looked anything but fit. “He patiently explained the perils of alcoholism to him and told him that he had to take control of his habit before the habit took control of him. He also suggested a revised workout for Salman.” Salman, who reportedly, used to consume more than a bottle of his favourite poison a day, saw the wisdom in what Aamir said and decided to give up drinking at least for the duration of Veer. His last drink was on his birthday (Dec 27) and since then he has been on the wagon.Interestingly, Aamir and Salman did not exactly hit it off during the making of Andaz Apna Apna after which Aamir had told the press that he would never work with Salman again. However Aamir’s personal equation with Salman grew over a period of time and today the two share a warm camaraderie. There are now vague talks about a sequel too. We SMSed Aamir for his comments but there was no reply. Aamir’s official PR Spice said, “Aamir is incommunicado as he is busy shooting for 3 Idiots. We will forward your message.” A source close to Salman said, “It’s true that Salman has given up drinking because he wants to be slim and trim in Veer. The film has a lot of scenes that require Salman to be bare-chested. Therefore he had to build muscle tone.” Salim Khan said, “Salman is off drinks at the moment. But I can’t comment on whether Salman followed Aamir’s suggestion or not. Salman and Aamir are good friends and that is between them. I choose not to be a part of it.”The flash point for Aamir came when he saw a picture of Salman in Veer and observed that he looked anything but fit
