The Titan of the Day Contest by Titan Watches got a huge response during the recently concluded 20-20 cricket season, receiving as many as 1,50,000 responses. Contestants had to walk in to any World of Titan showroom and participate in the six-question contest on cricket, to be one of the lucky few to get a chance to meet Aamir Khan. There were lots of other prizes such as watches, gift vouchers that thousands of other participants won by winning the “Titan of the Day” daily contest.
Dressed in cool blue denims and a black shirt, Aamir Khan totally enjoyed being with the winners, who were also his die-hard fans, and answering their questions. He was very courteous as always. He was asking names of all winners and calling them by names, which the winners really appreciated. He never seemed to be in a hurry and was peacefully interacting with them, signing autographs. He was there for almost 2 hours.
All the winners got a golden chance to get themselves photographed with Aamir. Not only that, the winners instantly received a photo-frame with this photograph, specially autographed by Aamir himself. Apart from this, they received a DVD of Aamir’s hit cricket-focused film Lagaan along with an autographed season ball as a souvenir.
