Aamir Khan's directorial debut, Taare Zameen Par, is the film that every Indian cherishes for its heartfelt story, great acting, and touching messages.

In a recent interview, Tisca Chopra went down memory lane and shared and reflected on her working experience with Aamir Khan.
Aamir Khan was like a school to me: Tisca Chopra
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, recalling her time working on the movie, Tisca, who later ventured into directing and producing, characterized it as a priceless learning experience under Aamir's guidance. She said, "Aamir Khan was like a school to me. I got to attend the Aamir Khan School of Filmmaking. He was incredibly meticulous, even though it was his debut film. He too was learning, and we were all part of that journey. He involved us in everything, from blocking scenes to choosing lenses. I really appreciated that level of authenticity and passion for cinema."
When questioned about Aamir Khan's reputed meticulousness and whether he was challenging to work with, as some might believe, Tisca Chopra expressed, "I never found him difficult to work with. I'm also meticulous and appreciate that kind of work ethic. In fact, I sometimes annoyed him by requesting retakes of my scenes, believing I could improve them. It was a fantastic experience. He put in so much effort into every aspect of the film that it couldn't have been bettered."
We should have sold tissue papers along with tickets: Aamir Khan
Speaking about the emotional resonance of Taare Zameen Par, Tisca Chopra recounted another story involving Aamir Khan. "One day, Aamir called me and joked that we should have sold tissue papers along with the film's tickets to double our earnings," she shared. "Even Karan Johar was moved to tears after watching the movie," she added.
Tisca Chopra further mentioned that, following Taare Zameen Par, she began receiving offers solely for mother roles. Consequently, she waited for a while until she finally secured the part of Anushka in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji.
