Aamir Khan spoke candidly to a room full of writers while announcing the second edition of India's biggest script contest, Cinestaan India Storytellers Script Contest.

So if you’re a writer waiting for a miraculous break in Bollywood, here’s why Aamir will give you hope and show you the mirror too.
