Unbelievable! My Performance Is My Publicity; Aamir Khan Had Said This Even Before Becoming A Star!
Aamir Khan was very focused and clear about his life even before becoming a huge star. A throwback interview of Aamir is going viral in which he had said that his performance is his publicity.
Aamir Khan's Dangal has become the country's highest grossing film ever even when Aamir Khan did not promote the film on TV shows and events.
And you will be surprised to know that even before becoming a huge star (before Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak) in 1998 the actor had said that he thinks that his performance is his publicity. Not just that, even before venturing into films the actor was very clear about what he wanted from his life and career. If you are a true Aamir Khan fan then you can't afford to miss this interview.
Aamir Khan On Getting Typecast & On Publicity
"Getting typecast can make you claustrophobic; I'll take my time rather than get swept up in some kind of image. I want to do roles which suit me. I'm aware of the fact that unless you've ‘hits' behind you nobody takes you seriously.''
On Signing Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak
"Nobody would spend so much money just because you happened to be related. I had to go throw the routine of a screen test and audition. Well, I was given preference but that's because they saw the potential in me. There has to be that something in you which cuts you apart from the rest and in my case, it was noticed."
On Working As A Child Actor In Yaadon Ki Baaraat
"As a child, I was shy, high-strung, goofy and awkward, acting was far remote from my thoughts, my ‘filmi' connections disillusioned me further. My dad (Tahir Hussain) being a producer, paid the directors and artistes; yet he had to regularly chase them, as they would play musical chairs with him before completing his films.''
''Seeing these unfavourable conditions, I vowed that I would never become a producer or have anything to do with films."
Acting Was Merely By Accident
"Acting was merely by accident when I was in XII std, Aditya Bhattacharya approached me for his short film, which he desired to send for the festival and I said ‘Yes' just for the fun of it.''
''I enjoyed the experience and it gradually grew on me making me confident of the fact that I could act, I then made up my mind to take acting as a profession."
On His Family's Reaction On Choosing This Profession
"There were no problems at home when I decided to become an actor, but I did get the message from them that perhaps ‘acting' wasn't so sensible a decision. Anyway, soon after high school, I joined uncle Nasir Hussain as an assistant director.''
''Simultaneously, I also did a few documentaries for the Pune institute students, and that was when Ketan Mehta saw me and chased me, to be cast in Holi."
I Was Very Nervous On The First Day Of The Shooting
"My whole life is about to change after this film, in spite of it being a home production, I was very nervous on the first day of shooting and in fact was sweating like a pig."
I Have No Hang-Ups In Going & Asking For A Role
"I have no hang-ups in going and asking for a role, provided I'm confident of the director, producer and of course the role."
In the same interview Aamir Khan had talked about his future plans, "My future plans are not yet set in my mind. I'd rather not talk about them now. I'm looking forward to the best of times. I want to do well and be appreciated, naturally, but I don't know what destiny has in store for me.''

He added, ''If I'm not a successful actor then I'll turn to direction. I'm very ambitious and it has been my ambition that has kept me going so far." Courtesy Tanqeed.com, Pinkvilla.
