Aamir Khan was born on March 14, 1965 in Mumbai to the parents Tahir and Zeenat Hussain. He has three siblings Faisal, Farhat, and Nikhat. Aamir Khan grew up around people from the film industry. His father, Uncle Nasir Hussain and cousin Mansoor Khan were all a part of the business. Aamir Khan is keeping this tradition alive by being a mentor to his young nephew Imran Khan.
He even gave the young star a leading role in ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’ – a film which he produced. Aamir Khan secretly married Reena Dutta on April 18, 1986. The couple had two children together, Junaid and Ira, but got divorced in 2002. Aamir Khan tied the knot a second time in 2005. He married Kiran Rao, who he met on the set of Lagaan; she was an assistant director.
Aamir Khan made his acting debut in 1984 in the film ‘Holi’ directed by Ketan Mehta. But it wasn’t until 1988 that Aamir Khan was thrust into the limelight with the film ‘Qayamat Se Qyatamat Tak.’ The movie was a huge hit with film-goers and Aamir Khan nabbed the Filmfare Best Debut Actor Award for his role as Raj. Following this, Aamir released hit after hit, such as ‘Dil,’ ‘It Happened One Night,’ and ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander.’ During this span, he collected several nominations for the Filmfare Best Actor Award. He finally won it in 1996 for the critically acclaimed ‘Raja Hindustani.’
In 2001 Aamir Khan produced and starred in the mega-hit ‘Lagaan.’ Aamir bagged his second Filmfare Best Actor Award for his role as Bhuvan in the film. The movie was also nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category, but unfortunately lost to ‘No Man’s Land.’ After starring in the hit ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ the same year, Aamir took nearly four years off from making films. He made his return in 2006 with the release of ‘Mangal Panday: The Rising.’
Aamir Khan made his directorial debut with ‘Taare Zameen Par’ in 2007. In late 2008 Aamir released the much anticipated ‘Ghajini.’ The film was a smash hit at the box office and with critics. In 2009, Aamir is set to release ‘Three Idiots,’ co-starring Kareena Kapoor, Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi.
