Why is Aamir Khan proud of Priyanka and Deepika?

Actor Aamir Khan has welcomed the trend of Indian actors heading to the West for work, saying "Indian talent has the potential to entertain the world". At a time when Indians like Priyanka Chopra ("Quantico" and "Baywatch") and Deepika Padukone ("xXx: The Return of Xander Cage") are making its presence felt in Hollywood, Aamir says he will only head to the West if the project excites him. Till then, he is "more excited doing Indian films", he said in an interview with Hollywood Reporter. Of his own potential international foray, Aamir said that in the past he has "received many offers from Hollywood but I didn't find any of them exciting in terms of script and character". "For me, to do any film, the material has to excite me and which part of the world it comes from is not relevant. When I do find something that I like (from outside India), I will be happy to do it. At the moment, I am more excited doing Indian films because I have an emotional connect with my audience which has been built over the last 25-30 years," Aamir said.
