Know more about the birthday star Aamir Khan

New Delhi, March 14: Bollywood star Aamir Khan has turned 48 today (March 14). Incomparable in promotional techniques, Aamir stands a class apart in the film industry. Delivering his work with perfection right from pre-production till the post-production, Aamir Khan is renowned as “Mr. Perfectionist” in B'town.Few people know about Aamir Khan's first act before debuting in “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” opposite Juhi Chawla. It was his uncle Nasir Hussain's “Yaadon Ki Baaraat” where the artist worked as a child actor. During 80's and 90's as film promotions were not in trend, Aamir took the initiative to grab the audience. Carrying the posters of his first flick “Qayamat se Qayamat Tak”, Mr. Perfectionist endorsed the movie by distributing its prints to numerous people including even taxi drivers and small retailers.Being an unusual technique during those periods and not knowing the actor, the natives took Aamir for granted. But the flick did wonders and made the artist claim his first National Film Award. Surely those who received the posters from the star must be considering themselves lucky, as this star glittered like anything thereafter. Almost every movie of Aamir Khan since thereafter went decent at the Box Office and his name accompanied the list of the best actors nominated for the Filmfare Award. It happened not once but for six consecutive years until the legend finally grabbed one for “Raja Hindustan” in 1996.Playback singing could never have been an easy job for any actor. But Aamir performed it deliberately in the movie “Ghulam”. The ‘tapori song' “kya bolti tu” topped the charts and also made this new singer the nominee for the best Playback singer at the Filmfare awards.The 2001 was the year, when the actor debuted as a producer for Ashutosh Gowarikar's “Lagaan” going superhit, as the flick also went to the list of the Best Foreign Language Film in the 74th Academy Awards at Oscars. That year is also remembered for Farhan Akhtar's “Dil Chahta Hai”, where Aamir delivered just opposite of what he gave in Lagaan. It was a new era depicting the urban cult of what the youth is really today. Aamir Khan had a competition for both his flicks in Filmfare, but “Lagaan” stood first to give him the best actor's award at the ceremony.The actor took a four year break and was back on screen in 2005 essaying the role of real-life sepoy Mangal Pandey. Though the flick went cold but Aamir's performance was still appreciated. The next year was the real comeback for the veteran in Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra's “Rang De Basanti” alongwith Yash Raj's “Fanna”. The actor-producer was just left to try his hands at direction, which was also accomplished under his production in 2007 in the name of “Taare Zameen Par”. Aamir depicting a teacher in the flick did well but was more acclaimed for his directorial performance.The wait of the spectators is about to get over as Mr. Perfectionist will be witnessed this year in not one but two flicks. First it will be the much anticipated Dhoom 3 where he will play the role of a glamorous thief while the second one will be Rajkumar Hirani's “Peekay”.Today it's party time for Aamir Khan and we wish him a very Happy Birthday.
