AAMIR KHAN BIOGRAPHY
Truly the most critically acclaimed among his peers, Aamir made his mark in Bollywood with the massive
hit Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), which was released when he was 23. Aamir is one of the three Khans that ruled
Bollywood in the Nineties, the other being Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Known as perfectionist, he insists on
getting a finished script before committing to a film and also refuses to work on more than one film at a time.
He does this to create believable characters, rather than just playing himself in film after film. Aamir will go
to great lengths to give a convincing portrayal - like, it is said, drinking heavily in order to play a drunken
scene in Raja Hindustani (1996), even though he doesn't drink in real life. Some critics call him the most complete
actor today for his ablility to do diverse roles. He refuses to attend awards ceremonies saying he doesn’t believe
in the authenticity of the selection and winning process.
Aamir Khan was first introduced as a child artiste in the 1970's hit Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973) --
he was the youngest child in the trio. Aamir 'quit' movies and went on to become the state tennis champion for
Maharashtra. Aamir also fell in love with the girl next door in the meantime. He proposed to her the day he turned
21, and she accepted.But apparently, there was opposition since she was from a Hindu family and he, from a devout
Islamic one. So, they eloped, got married and returned to their homes. Aamir's wife Reena even appears in the song
"Papa Kehte Hain" that made him the darling of the nation. From the tremendous success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak
(1988), which was released when he was 23, he has blossomed into India's finest actor. His list of sterling
performances include Dil (1990), _Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1990)_ , _Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander (1992)_ ,
Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Andaz Apna Apna (1994)Rangeela (1995), Raja Hindustani (1996), Ishq (1997),
Ghulam (1998) and Sarfarosh (1999).His performance in Earth (1998)as the Ice-Candy man has received rave reviews
from Indian and International critics. Using classic "method acting", Aamir acts in all genres of Indian films - comedy,
action, drama and romance. Though he performs in few films, Aamir Khanis acknowledged today as the most complete
Indian actor for his diverse choice of roles and films.
He has given sterling performances in a string of blockbustes inccliding Dil (1990), Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1990),
Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Rangeela (1995), Raja Hindustani
(1996), Ishq (1997), Ghulam (1998) and Sarfarosh (1999), Lagaan (2001) and Taare Zameen Par (2007).
Litigations involved:
His brother Faisal once caused a media scandal by accusing Khan of
mistreating him and forcing him to take medication. Faisal was said to be mentally unstable.
On 31 October, 2007, the Bombay high court granted temporary custody of Faisal to their father,
Tahir Hussain. Khan's family came out in a public statement supporting him on all counts in this
matter. The statement was also signed by his former wife and the mother of his children, Reena Dutta.
