The recent past has been a testimony of the mass hysteria Aamir Khan and his work generates not just in India but the world over too. The actor is not just a Superstar in India but also China.
The
recent
past
has
been
a
testimony
of
the
mass
hysteria
Aamir
Khan
and
his
work
generates
not
just
in
India
but
the
world
over
too.
The
actor
is
not
just
a
Superstar
in
India
but
also
China.
With
the
population
of
1.4
billion
and
1.35
billion
in
China
and
India
respectively,
Aamir
Khan
is
undoubtedly
the
biggest
Superstar
in
the
world.
The
record
shattering
earnings
of
his
last
3
outings
make
for
his
films
PK
(2014),
Dangal
(2016)
and
Secret
Superstar
(2017),
topping
the
list
of
Top
5
all
time
worldwide
grossing
Indian
Films.
While
Dangal
earned
a
whopping
1908
crores
in
China
while
Secret
Superstar
raked
in
874
crores
at
the
Chinese
box
office,
his
first
release
in
the
neighbouring
country
opened
to
a
thunderous
response
of
831
cr.
Aamir
Khan
emerged
as
the
most
watched
non-Chinese
actor
in
China,
hence
proving
his
stardom
in
the
neighbouring
nation.
Such
is
the
unprecedented
appeal
of
Aamir
Khan
that
has
his
work
garner
a
huge
showcase
across
theatres
of
the
World
along
with
global
audience
base
thronging
to
witness
his
magic
on
celluloid.
Speaking
about
the
tremendous
love
he
is
garnered
with
from
the
adjacent
nation,
Aamir
Khan
said,
"My
popularity
in
China
happened
by
accident.
Not
many
people
know
that
it
all
started
with
3
Idiots
(2009),
which
reached
Chinese
homes
through
piracy.
I
guess
they
really
related
with
the
subject
of
the
education
system.
Then
they
followed
my
work,
including
PK,
and
even
the
TV
show
Satyamev
Jayate.''
He
added,
''When
Dangal
released
in
China,
they
already
knew
me
and
my
work.
Also,
the
reason
why
the
films
did
such
business
in
China
is
the
sheer
number
of
screens.
In
India,
we
have
around
5,000
theatres,
while
in
China
there
are
45,000.
Even
though
there
isn't
as
much
difference
in
the
population
of
the
two
countries
(approx
1.35
billion
in
India
and
1.4
billion
in
China).
I
play
a
cameo
in
Secret
Superstar,
even
then
the
film
was
released
by
the
exhibitors
in
11,000
theatres
in
China.
Just
imagine
the
scale"
Through
his
work
Aamir
Khan
has
brought
India
and
China
together,
binding
them
with
a
common
thread
formed
by
Entertainment.
Over
the
years,
Aamir
Khan
has
been
the
only
actor
to
have
received
the
tremendous
love
and
appreciation
for
his
films
in
China.
The
actor
has
made
it
possible
to
resonate
the
mindset
of
the
two
nations,
which
is
a
rare
phenomenon.
With
the
love,
acclaim
and
adulation
from
two
of
the
most
populated
countries
of
the
world,
Aamir
Khan
enjoys
a
massive
fandom
which
accounts
for
nearly
half
of
the
World's
population,
thus
making
him
a
Global
favourite!
