When Vikram Seth met Aamir Khan

Seth, who was in the middle of his reading, was momentarily perplexed by the sudden movements of the Mumbai photographer corps.

But once he solved the mystery he promptly asked Aamir to come up on stage and play patient so he could show how his uncle, a dentist, operated with one arm.

Aamir hopped on and opened his mouth wide.

The crowd was thoroughly entertained. And the photographers switched gears for the third time rushing towards the stage.
