The chocolate boy of Bollywood was born on March 14, 1965. He shot to fame with his song Papa Kahte Hain Bada Nam Karega in his debut film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak(1988), co-starring Juhi Chawla. His acting talent and boy-next-door looks immediately endeared him to the audiences. He followed up his success with similar lover boy roles in Dil(1990) with Madhuri Dixit, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin with Pooja Bhatt, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar(1992) with Ayesha Julka and Pooja Bedi, Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke(1992) with Juhi Chawla and then graduated on to more serious roles in Akele Hum Akele Tum(1995) with Manisha Koirala, Raja Hindustani(1996) with Karisma Kapoor, Ghulam(1998) with Rani Mukherjee, Earth(1998) with Nandita Das, Sarfarosh(1999) with Sonali Bendre and Mann (1999) with Manisha Koirala.
Some of his less memorable films include Love Love Love (1989), Tum Mere Ho(1989), Awwal Number(1990), Jawani Zindabad (1990), Daulat Ki Jung(1992) Aatank hi Aatank(1995) and Mela(2000).
Aamir proved his versatility as an actor with comic performances in films like Andaz Apna Apna(1994) and Ishq(1997) and trend-setting tapori roles in blockbusters Rangeela(1995) and Ghulam(1998). Aamir Khan also started the trend of doing one film at a time. Dedicated and methodical, he is known to involve himself with his films from the scripting stage to the editing table. A thorough professional, Aamir has since gained a reputation for easily being counted on to give brilliant performances if not always hit films. He received the Filmfare Best Actor for Raja Hindustani in 1997. |
