Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan turns 50

While thanking media persons and his fans, Aamir said, I'm thankful that in my (over) 25 years of career, I've done work that I have enjoyed. Very few people get this opportunity and I'm grateful for that.

The actor, who has regaled audiences with romantic, action and comedy roles galore, says he feels very privileged and happy to look back at his career.

The actor, who has been preparing for his role as a wrestler in Dangal , said he took off from his workout routine. Today I have not worked out. I took a holiday from workout, and I spent time with Azad (son), said Aamir, adding that he is looking forward to something special that his wife Kiran Rao has planned for him.

At the pre birthday celebration, Aamir said Fifty is just a number for me. As far as age is concerned, it is stuck in our minds. When one becomes an adult, they feel 'I am mature', but most people get stuck at an age. I still feel like 18.

Thanking journalists for their presence in the parking area of his Bandra residence here, he said I feel very special. Thanks to everyone for coming here. Every year, you have been loving me so much. I'm thankful to all of you.
