A chunk of the event featured storytellers sharing anecdotes about their experiences meeting that special someone. Vanika was the first on stage, and her chirpy, funny way of engaging the audience set the mood. Nidhi came next and sang ‘Behke Yaar’. Storytellers like Amrita Saluja, Gunjan and Amandeep Singh followed, narrating stories about love, hope, and heartbreak. Meanwhile, Tanmay Maheshwari, Twinkle and Rahul crooned ‘Khwaab Dekhoon’, the title track and ‘Tadapnaa Judaa Judaa’ respectively. Three lucky winners came on stage and they also sang songs from the film. Shreya from Jameshedpur especially received many claps, with the host remarking that everyone in the venue was crushing on her.

Finally, Aamir Khan came on stage and was joined by Ram Sampath, singer Meghna Mishra and Bala from Ram’s team. Aamir raised laughs as he gestured that he wanted to go to the loo. This was the second time in less than an hour that he went to relieve himself and it raised laughs.

Once he was back, Aamir Khan said, “I want to tell the winners that they sung so well. Also, the way the storytellers narrated the stories was so beautiful. I loved it. Each one of them engaged us. I was lost in each of your stories. I hope you all are not going home early. Humein baithna chahiye saath mein!”

He raised laughs as he stated, “I love singing a lot. Baaki jagah mujhe gaane ka chance nahin milta hai. Lekin yeh film maine khud produce ki hai! So, I told them, ‘This time, please let me sing’.”

Aamir Khan pointed towards his Guru, present in the hall, and said, “I have been learning how to sing from Didi for the last 3 years. Aur mujhe bahut maza aata hai. Jo sunte hai, unki guarantee main nahin le raha hoon (laughs)!”

Aamir appeared nervous and asked Ram Sampath if he would be able to perform well. Ram lovingly told him, “We’ve all got your back sir. Don’t worry!” All of a sudden, Aamir Khan looked at Vir Das and said, “Vir, your hair has grown. You’re looking handsome. Show your face to everyone!” Vir got up and his dashing look was appreciated.”

Finally, Aamir Khan began singing the title track of Ek Din with Meghna Mishra, also singing with him. The perfectionist that Aamir is, he nailed it and there was a huge round of applause once he was done.

Aamir Khan then remembered the song’s original singer, Arijit Singh, “We’re missing Arijit today. I wish he was here. He has sung so well.”

Ek Din releases in cinemas on May 1.
