Aamir is like Ayn Rand’s Howard Roark?
Neha explains why she thinks so:
I can keep on drawing parallels of Aamir Khan with one of the most influential fictional characters ever written – Howard Roark of The Fountainhead, written by Ayn Rand.
Howard and Aamir both
- Are brilliant and unabashedly open about it
- Defy rules, traditions and “contemporary” way of working
- Are extremely passionate about work
- Are unwilling to compromise on the quality of work they do, even if
that means scrapping the project totally and starting afresh.- Ignore the driving occupations of the world around them: wealth, status, regard amongst fellow men
In short, both can be called the paragons of Objectivist ideas…

Google adds tweaks to reader following privacy concerns
