Incidentally, his first directorial debut starring Saif Ali Khan was entirely shot in Panchgani in the same house. The house has four rooms, a spectacular garden coupled with hammocks and swings as well a well in the backyard.
Panchgani (Wai) holds a special place for Aamir Khan in many a ways. The epic called ‘Mangal Pandey' was shot in here, it is Wai where he falls in love with Kiran Rao who was an assistant director in Swades and Mangal Pandey. A large portion of Sawdes was also shot in Wai.
After a year of their marriage, Aamir Khan has decided to buy this bungalow in the quaint hill station. Aamir and Kiran will throw a party this Friday for the media and their close friends. Last heard, Aamir's children with his first wife Reena, Junaid and Ira are also fond of the place.
