Mr. Perfectionist and Bollywood’s genius, Aamir Khan has played with stories, hisses, and roles. In his long and still-going career, the charismatic and unorthodox superstar has left an indelible impression on the world of cinema with memorable performances. The ruling Khan of Bollywood has always preferred to avoid the media and just speak his mind. The actor’s list of hidden facts is infinite.
1. Childstar to Superstar
At the age of eight, Aamir Khan made his screen debut in Yaadon Ki Baarat, which also starred Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Ajit Khan, Vijay Arora, Tariq Khan, and Neetu Singh. In 1973, he made a cameo appearance in a popular song from Nasir Hussain’s film.
2. A tennis pro
During his school days, Aamir Khan was a huge admirer of lawn tennis, and he was professional at it either. In lawn tennis, he competed for his school in multiple national tournaments. His favourite tennis player is Roger Federer.
3. No awards funda
Mr. Perfectionist wasn’t really a snob when it came to awards. He vowed to skip all award ceremonies after losing to Sunny Deol at the 1990 Filmfare awards. He has been nominated for the Filmfare Award 17 times so far. Despite this, he has no objections to the Oscars.
4. Detests showers
Aamir dislikes bathing, according to his wife Kiran Rao. While filming Rangeela and Ghulam, the actor said that he would take a shower every few days to “do justice” to his part. In an interview, Aamir’s wife Kiran stated that he would only take showers if he had to leave the house.
5. First Feature Film
Holi was Aamir’s first feature film, and he was referred to as Aamir Hussian Khan in the titles. Ashutosh Gowariker, the director of Lagaan, also figured prominently in the film.
6. Doesn’t like getting waxed
Aamir Khan seems to be the only well-known Bollywood star who lacks a wax figure at Madame Tussauds. When they confronted him, he rejected their bid.
7. Has a relationship with one of the great freedom fighters of India
Many people are unaware that Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist, Amair Khan, has a grandmother who is linked to a great Indian king. Abul Kalam Azad, an Indian freedom fighter and philosopher, was the actor’s great-grand uncle.
8. Aamir Khan is known to have an eating disorder
In the rapid fire round, Kiran began by revealing little-known information about her famous husband’s addiction to food. Aamir turns out to be a binge eater. When he isn’t dieting, he admits to eating about everything.
In the film industry, he’s known as the guy with the Magic touch, because whatever he encounters, in whatever role, be it an entirely composed lead role, a cameo, or even a production, he never fails to charm the viewer.
