Aamir Khan explained, "I did this not once, but twice. During the shooting of 'Raakh,' I didn't bathe because my character lives on the streets after leaving home. I wanted it to look real, so I didn't bathe."

Regarding the shooting of 'Ghulam,' Aamir Khan said, "There was a long action sequence in the climax of 'Ghulam' where I get badly beaten. If I bathed every day after the shoot, it wouldn't feel real, and my injuries would also be cleaned. So, I didn't bathe to maintain the same look for the scene."
