Aamir Khan has confessed to rumours of him not bathing for two of his movies. The actor clarified that he did not take a bath for a week straight while shooting for Ghulam.

Aamir Khan confirmed that he did not bathe while shooting for his movie Ghulam and it was for a very valid reason. While talking to ABP Summit, the Ghajini actor shared, "In Ghulam, there was a long action sequence in the climax where I get badly beaten up. Gradually, my injuries started increasing. If I had bathed every day after shooting, it would have ruined the continuity. So I decided not to bathe for a week to maintain the same look and feel for the scene. Because when you bathe the next day, you end up looking fresh—which I didn’t want."

Confessing that the rumours are indeed true, Aamir said that he did not take a bath during the filming of Raakh either. This is because he wanted the character of a homeless person to look authentic. Thus, he avoided taking a bath to make the character look real. No wonder the actor is called Mr. Perfectionist!
