INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Aamir Khan, one of the most influential figures in Indian cinema, hails from a rich film industry background, with his father being a film producer and his uncle also involved in filmmaking. This legacy, however, did not ensure a smooth path for Aamir. His father’s productions often faced commercial failure, leading to challenging financial circumstances that left a profound impact on Aamir’s early life. He recalls a time when incessant calls from lenders seeking repayment punctuated his day, with the threat of expulsion from school looming over him due to unpaid fees. Despite these adversities, Aamir’s childhood was filled with a fascination for balloons and kites, which provided a much-needed escape from the pressures surrounding him.

Aamir’s foray into the film industry began at a tender age of eight when he made his debut as a child actor in the landmark film *Yaadon Ki Baaraat*, regarded as the first masala film in Bollywood. This early experience ignited his passion for acting, which continued to flourish as he navigated the tumultuous world of cinema. By the age of sixteen, he had taken on the role of an assistant director, further honing his skills behind the scenes. The journey was not without its struggles; during the promotion of his film *Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak*, he and his cousin Raj Zutshi took to the streets of Bombay to paste posters on buses and auto-rickshaws, showcasing his determination to succeed in an industry rife with competition.

After a series of setbacks, Aamir achieved his first major hit with the 1990 film *Dil*, which marked a turning point in his career. This success was followed by his daring performance in *Ghulam*, where a harrowing stunt saw him narrowly escape an oncoming train. His commitment to authenticity was further showcased in *Raja Hindustani*, where he delivered a performance that garnered immense appreciation and is remembered for one of the longest kisses in Bollywood history. Aamir’s dedication to his craft was evident when he went to great lengths to embody his characters, such as piercing his ears for *Lagaan* and consuming a liter of vodka to portray a drunk character convincingly in *Tere Ishq Mein Naachenge*.

As he continued to enthrall audiences with his performances, Aamir ventured beyond acting, creating a significant impact through his television talk show *Satyamev Jayate*, which highlighted social issues in India. His work earned him a spot on Time Magazine’s list of “100 Most Influential People in The World” in 2013, a testament to his influence both in film and society. His role in *Dangal* further solidified his place in cinematic history, as the film became the first Indian movie to gross over ₹2000 crores globally, captivating audiences with its powerful narrative and Aamir’s transformative performance. Notably, his dedication to the role required him to gain and subsequently lose a significant amount of weight, showcasing his remarkable commitment to authenticity in his portrayals.

In recent years, Aamir has openly discussed mental health, sharing insights about his own therapy journey alongside his daughter, Ira Khan, on World Mental Health Day. This candidness reflects his evolving perspective on personal well-being amid the demands of a rigorous career. Moreover, he expressed a desire to reconnect with family, contemplating stepping back from the film industry during the pandemic but ultimately rethinking that decision with encouragement from those close to him. Aamir Khan’s journey through the complex landscape of Indian cinema is not only a story of triumph over adversity but also a reflection of his ongoing commitment to both his craft and the well-being of those around him.
