Mumbai: Children are on Aamir Khan's mind this Children's Day. After hosting a radio show for a Mumbai-based station, the actor posed with four lucky children who had joined him on the show.

Ever ready to speak up for a cause, Aamir said that India needs a more relaxed education system.

“I think parents need to be more relaxed. This trend where every child should get 90 per cent is not right. We have to develop multiple faculties. Someone may not like doing maths, while another child might want to do painting. We should encourage that,” Aamir said.

Aamir's concern for easing up on childhood competitions was evident while shooting for his home production Taare Zameen Par. The actor set up a special school on location for the children who acted in his film and shot for limited hours so that their routine is not disturbed.

“I took special care that time doesn't exceed and that the children get their freedom on the sets. Their attention span is small, so one needs to keep that in mind,” Aamir said.

So, here's hoping children around the country also respond with the same enthusiasm to his pet project, Taare Zameen Par, which releases this December.
