It was a definite improvement from the disastrous debut episode, and Farhan Akhtar's Oye Its Friday, on telly, has Aamir Khan to thank for it.

The actor, unlike the previous guest Hrithik Roshan, was not eager-to-please at all, rather maintained a dignified stance, even as he cracked jokes about his costars and his own pranks. It was the anecdotes and at times stunning remarks from Aamir that kept the interest alive in this show which refuses to come out of its juvenile state of mind (the extremely ill-timed audience applause and response still makes you wince).




When asked about his pranks, Aamir recalled an instance when he had actually spat on Madhuri's palm on the pretext of reading her fortune. It was during the shoot of Dil, and Mads was apparently quite annoyed with Aamir.




A startling confession came from Aamir again, when Farhan quizzed him about the cult hit Andaz Apna Apna, the only film where he had worked with Salman Khan. "Salman was very difficult to work with," said Aamir. "He was a star while I was truly a labour force person. He'd come when he please, he would work when he was in the mood for it. We had to deal with all of this." Ouch!



As a host Farhan seemed a little more at ease with the medium, though his jokes continued to embarrass with their forced humour. In fact, Aamir was clearly not amused even as some of the gags and skits were performed on stage.



What came as a bonus however, was an exclusive clip from Ghajini.
