Youthful Aamir Khan launches new Samsung phones

Youthful Aamir Khan launches new Samsung phonesAamir Khan, newly announced brand ambassador for Samsung, attended the launch of five new phone models - SGH-i 45, SGH-G800, i550, D-880 and J210 - at Regal Room, Hilton Towers, Mumbai, Wednesday, March 12.

Attired in a loose fitting purple color crewneck T-shirt with short sleeves and faded jeans Aamir, who recently worked up six-pack abs for a song sequence in Ghajini, looked youthful and very fit. Samsung honcho, H. B. Lee, was on the mark pinpointing Aamir's strengths even if he was relying entirely on hearsay: "The Samsung brand stands for qualities of innovation, change, discovery, self-expression and excellence in performance. And these very same qualities are epitomized by Aamir Khan, whose quality and depth of work as well as versatility as an actor, have made him a much loved and respected actor in India today. We are indeed very proud and privileged to have him as our Brand Ambassador."

On an aside, Aamir initially shot the shirt-less six-pack-abs song sequence in South Africa nearly five months ago. Recently, the film's choreographer, Ahmed Khan, wanted to introduce a variation to improve the song but realized that Aamir had lost his six-packs and even put on some weight.

When Aamir, whose penchant for perfection is legendary, heard about the problem he asked Ahmed for three weeks to get back in shape, and did just that.

Part of the song sequence was re-canned over four days at Film City in Mumbai last month.
