Aamir Khan’s latest movie Sitaare Zameen Par has managed to impress viewers across India since its release. The unique concept and a fresh star cast featuring actors with Down syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, and Autism in real life won the viewers’ hearts. With its theatre-only release, the film managed to create a stir at the box office. Apart from the star cast, it was the impressive writing of Divy Nidhi Sharma, which contributed to the movie’s success.

Divy Nidhi Sharma is a talented writer who has worked on projects like Laapataa Ladies, Heeramandi and Anupamaa. Now, after working on Sitaare Zameen Par, the writer recently shed light on Aamir Khan’s approach towards the creative writing style. During a recent interview with India Today, he was asked whether Aamir Khan is an interfering actor, to which he said, “Honestly, I had also heard about these things, but after being part of Laapataa Ladies writing team, and now Sitaare Zameen Par, I can assure that while he remains involved, there is no interference.”

He further added, “Because I was also on set during the shoot, I can even say from Prasanna's side that there was zero interference. It was perhaps one of the finest experiences of our lives.” The writer continued to praise Aamir Khan and explained how respectful he his towards other people’s efforts. He said, There was room for discussion and debate. He does take time to trust, but when it's been built, it's a smooth ride. Even if he had a counterpoint, it never came from Aamir Khan, as there was room for discussion and debate, and he was even more than willing to concede. He is one of the few actors who respect the written word. Even if he had to change a comma, he would ask the writer, and not once did he impose himself on the director."

Talking about his work, the writer expressed that he had read several reviews claiming that the movie is trying to push the message too hard, but Divy defended his work and said that being an Indian writer and a typical audience member, he liked underlining his emotions. He never wanted to portray the characters as ‘sorry figures’ or to put them on a pedestal. He just wanted to show a situation-based humour that revolved around ‘their normal.’
