"When I started getting ads, I took a break from my day job. Then, I met sir again on a flight. He praised me, and said that I was doing very well. I thanked him, and told him that I was thinking of quitting and pursuing my modelling career full-time. He didn't allow me to quit. To this day, I'm probably an employee."

As the film industry is an unstable world, Subrata supported Aamir until he managed to earn a decent amount. At the same time, he signed a paper mentioning that Aamir would be given leave for as many days as he wanted to pursue modelling. Aamir revealed that he hadn't claimed his gratuity due to his love for them, as they tried to ensure he kept earning. However, he asked the company to stop giving him a salary when he began getting films.
Aamir Ali revealed how Subrata Roy was a good and helpful force in his life who supported him as he worked on establishing his identity. During his interactions with Subrata, Aamir got some important lessons from the late businessman. Recalling the lessons he learned, Aamir said:
"I still value one of his biggest teachings: Kaal, sthaan, patra; time, place, and what you speak. This is what defines you as a person."
