Aamir Khan was

first introduced as a child artiste in the 1970′s hit Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973).

He made his adult acting debut in a role that went quite unnoticed in Ketan

Mehta’s Holi

(1984). His first notable leading role came in 1988 in the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak

which was directed by his cousin Mansoor Khan. This film was a breakthrough

commercial success, effectively launching Khan’s career as a leading actor.

He also starred in critically acclaimed film

Having the typical ‘chocolate hero’ looks, he was publicised as a teen idol

.Raakh

(1989).  Aamir went on to appear in several other films in the late ’80s

and early ’90s: Dil

(1990), which became the highest grossing film of the year, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991),

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992),

Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993)

(for which he also wrote the screenplay), and Rangeela (1995). Most of these films were

commercially successful and critically acclaimed. Aamir’s other successes include

Andaz Apna Apna:

the movie was reviewed unfavourably by critics, but has, over the years, gained

a cult status.

Aamir’s only

release in 1996 was the Dharmesh Darshan directed commercial blockbuster Raja Hindustani. In 1997,

he co-starred with Ajay Devgan and was paired opposite Juhi Chawla in the film,

Ishq, which did

well at the box office. In 1998, Khan appeared in the moderately successful Ghulam, for which he sang

the hot song, ‘Aati Kya Khandala’.

John Mathew Matthan’s Sarfarosh

and Deepa Mehta’s Earth

1947 were Khan’s releases in 1999. His first release for the new

millennium, Mela,

in which he acted alongside his real-life brother Faisal Khan, failed at the

box office.

In 2001 he appeared

in Lagaan, which

was also his first home production. The film was a major critical and

commercial success, and received a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at

the 74th Academy Awards. The success of Lagaan

was followed by the Farhan Akhtar directed, Dil

Chahta Hai.

Khan then took a

four year break citing personal problems, and returned in 2005 with Ketan

Mehta’s Mangal Pandey: The

Rising. The film didn’t fare well at the box office. Rakeysh

Omprakash Mehra’s award-winning Rang

De Basanti was Khan’s first release in 2006. His role was

critically acclaimed. Fanaa

was his second release in 2006, where he starred opposite Kajol.

In 2007, Aamir took

on the role of director for his second home production, Taare Zameen Par. In 2008,

Khan appeared in the movie Ghajini

that broke

many box-office records. In the same year, Khan launched his nephew Imran Khan

in another film from his production house, Jaane

Tu Ya Jaane Na.

In 2009, Khan

appeared in the commercially and critically acclaimed film, 3 Idiots, as Ranchodas

Chanchad. The Rajkumar Hirani directed film went on to become Bollywood’s

highest grossing film.

In 2010, Aamir

released, under his banner, the critically acclaimed film, Peepli Live, that was

based in a rural setting. Aamir returned to big screen with his fourth production

Dhobi Ghat, written and directed by

his wife, Kiran Rao, in 2011.

Aamir is currently

shooting for Reema Kagti’s next film. His fifth home production, Delhi Belly, is scheduled

to release in July 2011.
