Actor who put money in flour packages: Who is Aamir Khan?
What do we know about the famous actor and director Aamir Khan, who is loved around the world as much as he is in India, and whose films are widely talked about? Here are 10 facts you need to know about Aamir Khan's life...
1- Born in Mumbai
Aamir Khan, who has a serious fan base, was born on March 14, 1965, in Mumbai. Aamir Khan, originally from Afghanistan, started acting when he was only eight years old.
2- Related to sports
It seems that Aamir Khan is a successful name not only in the film industry but also in sports. He was involved in tennis during his school days and represented his school at state-level championships. Like every tennis enthusiast, Aamir Khan is a big fan of Roger Federer.
3- Chess too
Aamir Khan had an interest not only in tennis but also in board games. In fact, he loved it not as a simple interest, but as an obsession. Well, all those good movies need a lot of brain training anyway.
4- Suffers from eating disorders
According to his wife, Kiran Rao, he suffers from an eating disorder. Well naturally, it could be. We're watching a movie that comes out as a fat man. We're looking at a movie that looks like a fitness champ. It can be called professional deformation. And between us, according to his wife's statement, he didn't like to take a bath either. I made a little face when I heard this news, but there is no perfect person.
5- He hates bad habits
According to the news we received, Aamir Khan hates cigarettes and alcohol. As you can see, our famous actor and director turned out to be a complete Green Crescent. But also professional. He didn't object, even if he needed to drink as per the movie. An exemplary one.
6- Does not attend award ceremonies
Aamir Khan has a modest nature that rejects fame and glory. He turned down an offer to have his wax statue made by the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in England. He didn't feel the need to say, "This is not important to me. People can watch my movies if they want to." An interesting perspective indeed.
Not only that, but he also does not attend award ceremonies. He is of the opinion that it is not distributed to those who deserve it. They despised this man a lot in his time. Now he gets a reward after the award, but he doesn't go to get any of them.
7- Highest grossing movie
Almost all of us have processed the movie 'PK'. I don't think there is anyone who doesn't like it. It also has Aamir Khan in the lead role. The movie 'PK' is the highest-grossing Indian movie of all time.
8- Mr. Perfect
Aamir Khan's nickname is 'Mr. Perfect'. Because he is said to have a perfectionist attitude in his work. Well, this is what was expected from so many successful films. He is also very against having an actor working on several films at once in Bollywood and making improvised films before the script is completed. Filming in one shot gives great importance to the rules of having a finished script.
9- The 100 most influential people
Running to success after success, Aamir Khan was named among the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine in 2019. At the same time, it would not be difficult to guess that he is Bollywood's highest-paid player.
10- His dog's name is 'Sharukh'
I think this is the feature that surprised me the most. He named his dog 'Sharukh'. The reason he gave this name was that he was not on good terms with another Bollywood star, Shah Rukh Khan. Frankly, I could not understand whether Aamir Khan loves his dog or not. Why does he insult his dog, even though he named his dog this name to insult the man? It was a confusing move. It doesn't suit Aamir Khan.
