Mumbai, December 22: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan today denied having stayed at the hotel in Varanasi whose owner was charged by the local police of violating identity verification rules, adding that his initial plan was to stay at the railway station.
Aamir who is back in the city after travelling across the country in disguise for the past two weeks to promote his upcoming film “3 Idiots” said that he undertook the journey to meet with as many “real” people as possible.
“Nobody knows where I stayed during my visit to the city, which was my first stop. Since I was travelling, I came to know about the controversy much later. I had actually planned to stay at the Varanasi railway station and interact with people,” Aamir told reporters here.
The 44-year-old actor said that he decided to visit the city because it was where his mother grew up.
