:This article discusses Aamir Khan, an actor. See
also the uation page for Amir Khan.


Aamir Khan (Persian alphabet|Urdu:
عامر
خان,
DevanÄ�garÄ«|Devanāgarī:
आमिर
ख़ान), born Aamir Hussain Khan,
March 14, 1965, in Mumbai, India, is one of the
most prominent actors on the Bollywood scene. He
rose to stardom with the film Qayamat se Qayamat
tak (1988).  

==Career==

Aamir was born into a film-industry clan. His
father Tahir Hussain is a producer; his uncle
Nasir Hussain was a director. He has acted in a
few films directed by his cousin Mansoor Khan.
Aamir's brother Faisal Khan has also acted in
films.

Aamir began his career as a child-actor in the
film Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973), when he was eight
years old. He acted and wrote the screenplay for
the film Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke (1993). He has
also done playback singing for himself in the
successful film Ghulam (1998). 

Aamir is known for his efforts to create
believable characters, rather than just playing
himself in film after film. He will go to great
lengths to give a convincing portrayal --
including, it is said, drinking heavily in order
to play a drunken scene in Raja Hindustani (1996),
even though he doesn't drink in real life. His
memorable characters include: 

* Amar, the inept schemer (Andaz Apna Apna)
* Aakash, the college Lothario (Dil Chahta Hai) 
* Munna, the street tough (Rangeela)
* Bhuvan, the village idealist (Lagaan) 
* ACP Rathod, a crusading police officer,
Sarfarosh

Aamir is also known for working on only one film
at a time, unusual in the Bollywood film industry,
because he wants to give his best to each film.
Detractors say that his penchant for perfection
sometimes leads to clashes with directors who
don't listen to his objections or let him re-shoot
a scene he thinks sub-par. 

Aamir's reputed perfectionism seems to have paid
off for Aamir's first foray into film-production,
Lagaan|Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India. This
film was a big box-office success in India and was
nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign
Language Film, 2001.

Aamir is currently working on a project called
"The Rising (Indian movie)|The Rising" which is
being made in both English language|English and
Hindi. He is playing the role of Mangal Pandey, a
sepoy in the army of the British East India
Company and a leader of the Indian rebellion of
1857 (which the British called the Indian Mutiny).
The movie is now scheduled for release on august
12, 2005.

Apart from "Rang De Basanti" and "The Rising
(Indian movie)|The Rising", he recently signed a
movie Fanah with director Kunal Kohli opposite
Kajol.

==Family life==

Aamir went directly into films from college and
made his first big hit playing ... a college boy.
Publicists tried to position him as a teen idol,
every college girl's dream. In order to do so,
they buried all evidence of his 1988 marriage to
Reena Datta, one of the extras appearing in his
first hit film, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. It was big
news when the marriage was first revealed. 

However, Aamir's popularity survived the
revelation, and his marriage to Reena seemed to
have survived too. They had two children and led a
quiet, publicity-shunning family life. Reena was
even involved, briefly, in Aamir's career when she
worked as a producer for Lagaan. It was a big
surprise to the film-going public when Aamir Khan
and Reena divorced in 2003. Aamir has since been
linked romantically to several women, but is still
single.
