Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has entered his 61st year today. Born in Mumbai on March 14, 1965, Aamir is popular for his acting and professional skills.
Aamir's father Tahir Hussain and uncle Nasir Hussain were established Bollywood producers.
Aamir, who was interested in films since childhood due to the film environment at home, stepped onto the silver screen as a child artist in the film 'Yaadon Ki Baaraat' in 1973.
After that, he was seen as a child artist in the 1974 film 'Madhosh' and stayed away from the film industry for about 11 years.
Although he made his debut as an actor with the film 'Holi' in 1984, he could not get initial success. However, after four years of struggle in Mumbai, he suddenly came into the limelight with his own uncle's film 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' in 1988.
He also won the Filmfare 'Debut Actor' Award for the same film.
Aamir, who created the image of a 'romantic hero' in the early days, made an impact in 1994 with Rajkumar Santoshi's film 'Andaz Apna Apna'. In the same year, he played the role of a girl for a song in the film 'Baaji', for which he even waxed his body hair.
He was to play the role of a prostitute in the 1996 blockbuster film 'Raja Hindustani'.
Aamir, who has never drunk alcohol in real life, shot for the first time after drinking alcohol to make the scene look real on screen.
Similarly, in a scene in the 1998 film 'Ghulam', he performed a risky stunt of running in front of a train, which thrilled the audience.
In 2001, Aamir established 'Aamir Khan Productions' and started producing films. His first production 'Lagaan' created history in Indian cinema. In this film based on a rural setting, he played the role of a character named 'Bhuvan', who defeats the British in a cricket match and gets tax (lagan) waived.
This film was also nominated for the Oscars in the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category.
Aamir's 'Taare Zameen Par', '3 Idiots', 'Dangal' are highly popular films. His films have consistently failed at the box office in recent times.
'Thugs of Hindostan' and 'Laal Singh Chaddha' could not attract much audience. But after a long time, 'Sitare Zameen Par' added a new brick to Aamir's film career.
Aamir Khan, who has been ruling Bollywood for a long time, is still known as an equally active and influential filmmaker.
