Actor
Aamir
Khan,
who
has
delivered
several
hits
in
his
film
career
like
Taare
Zameen
Par,
3
Idiots,
says
because
of
his
'one
film
at
a
time
approach'
in
the
industry,
people
often
told
him
that
his
career
will
be
finished
soon.
Aamir
began
as
a
child
actor
at
the
age
of
eight
in
Nasir
Hussain's
Yaadon
Ki
Baaraat
(1973)
and
Madhosh
(1974).
Eleven
years
later,
he
made
his
acting
debut
as
an
adult
in
Ketan
Mehta's
Holi
(1984)
that
went
unnoticed.
The
actor's
first
notable
leading
role
came
in
1988
in
the
film
Qayamat
Se
Qayamat
Tak,
which
was
directed
by
his
cousin
and
Nasir
Hussain's
son
Mansoor
Khan.
The
actor
has
completed
25
years
in
the
film
industry
and
given
notable
performances
in
films
like
Dil,
Jo
Jeeta
Wohi
Sikander,
Hum
Hai
Rahi
Pyaar
Ke,
Andaz
Apna
Apna,
Rangeela,
Ghulam,
Sarfarosh,
Earth,
Lagaan,
Dil
Chahta
Hai,
Sarfarosh,
Rang
De
Basanti,
Fanna,
Taare
Zameen
Par,
Ghajini,
3
Idiots
and
others.
"I
am
happy
and
surprised
to
complete
25
years
in
the
industry.
When
I
was
new
I
was
not
aware
where
and
how
my
career
will
head.
I
was
told
an
actor's
life
is
of
five
years
as
public
then
gets
bored
of
seeing
them," Aamir
told
the
PTI.
Aamir
insists
that
he
chooses
a
film
from
his
heart
and
doesn't
do
it
to
achieve
name,
fame,
money
and
doesn't
care
much
about
which
banner
is
making
the
movie.
"My
this
mantra
to
do
a
film
has
been
questioned
by
many
people
in
the
industry.
I
remember
industry
people
telling
me
that
I
would
be
out
of
this
industry
soon
due
to
my
one
film
or
less
films
approach,
and
that
my
method
was
not
right.
People
had
lashed
out
at
me
and
my
way
of
working.
But
I
never
got
deterred
and
followed
what
my
heart
said," he
said.
Often
regarded
as
a
perfectionist,
Aamir
has
evolved
as
an
actor
in
all
these
years
and
insists
he
has
reached
this
far
due
to
the
support
of
his
family
members
including
first
wife
Reena,
present
wife
Kiran
Rao,
mother
and
father,
siblings,
industry
people
and
fans.
"It
is
quite
surprising
that
I
completed
so
many
years
in
the
industry,
it
seems
like
I
just
started
yesterday.
I
want
to
thank
my
family,
friends,
writers,
directors,
technicians,
co-stars
and
all,
and
not
to
forget
my
fans
and
God
for
their
never
ending
love
and
support,"
he
says.
Also,
Aamir's
first
successful
film
as
a
hero
Qayamat
Se
Qayamat
Tak
completed
25
years
of
its
release
on
March
1,
2013.
"I
am
happy
that
the
film
has
completed
25
years.
We
are
having
a
small
get
together
with
family
and
close
friends
and
associates
related
to
the
film.
First,
we
would
be
watching
the
film
and
then
sit
and
eat,
recollect
old
days
and
have
fun,"
he
said.
After
starting
with
a
smash
hit,
Aamir
did
a
long
string
of
average
films
which
failed
to
garner
any
support
at
the
Box
Office
but
the
actor
inside
him
kept
progressing.
"I
made
a
lot
of
mistakes
in
my
career
and
had
unsuccessful
films
also
to
my
credit.
But
I
have
always
learnt
from
my
mistakes
as
that
has
always
pushed
me
to
do
better
and
evolve
as
an
actor
and
as
a
person.
I
don't
regret
doing
any
film
in
my
career
as
the
experience
has
taught
me
a
lot,"
he
said.
"I
also
give
equal
importance
and
value
to
my
failures
and
my
success.
I
am
never
afraid
to
walk
on
a
path
that
one
rarely
walks,
I
am
not
afraid
to
take
risks,"
he
added.
Aamir
made
his
debut
on
TV
with
Satyamev
Jayate,
which
got
good
reception
from
all
quarters.
Not
just
personally,
but
even
his
films
have
given
out
strong
messages.
"I
never
thought
I
would
be
star
and
be
successful.
I
believed
in
doing
what
I
felt
was
right
and
just
followed
by
heart.
The
two
qualities
that
I
feel
have
brought
me
till
here
are
my
passion
and
madness
for
cinema
but
the
same
also
backfire
at
times
and
is
dangerous.
Also
I
am
'ziddi' and
emotional,"
he
said.
