Aamir Khan, often called ‘Mr. Perfectionist,’ is one of Bollywood’s finest actors with a diverse and acclaimed filmography. His success didn’t come overnight but was built through years of dedication, hard work, and perseverance, making him one of the industry’s most respected and successful stars.
Aamir Khan recently shared that he was initially disappointed with his film choices and often felt heartbroken. After the massive success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, his first lead role, he received 300-400 film offers, leaving him overwhelmed and unsure about which projects to pick.

In conversation with Javed Akhtar, Aamir recalled that before his debut success, he had only worked as an assistant with Mansoor Khan and Nasir Hussain. After Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, he received 300-400 film offers from various producers. As a newcomer, he didn’t initially grasp the immense responsibility of signing a film.

Teh superstar also reflected on his early setbacks when films like Love Love Love, Awwal Number, and Tum Mere Ho flopped, nearly derailing his career. Labeled a “one-film wonder” by the media, he anticipated more failures ahead and felt trapped in a downward spiral with no clear escape.

The massive success of Indra Kumar’s Dil, co-starring Madhuri Dixit, turned Aamir Khan’s career around, bringing him back into the spotlight and setting him on the path to stardom.
