Contacting Aamir, he said, “I came to know that `Peepli Live` is out of Oscars. I am of course sad about it. But, I am happy that we represented India and we were one among the world`s best 60 films which were sent to Oscars. We are disappointed and sad.”

The actor maintained that he doesn`t make films for the Oscars.

“I don`t make them for Oscars, neither for any other awards. I make films for the audience. I value whatever response I get from the audience, critics and media. Oscars, Cannes, Berlin Festival - they are like platforms where international audience come to know about our films. If you win there, more people watch them,” said Aamir.
