Aamir Khan celebrates his 47th birthday

Actor-producer Aamir Khan turned 47 Wednesday and celebrated his big day with journalists at his residence here.

"I am humbled that you all are here to wish me. My day starts with you, with your good wishes," said an overwhelmed Aamir who welcomed the media outside his Pali Hill residence. He cut a cake and spoke to reporters.

"I would thank god who has given me all the success and happiness that god has showered on me in my personal life. We were recently blessed with a kid named Azad so I am thankful to god," said the actor, dressed casually in shorts and a T-shirt.

With each passing year, Aamir looks younger and says that it is all because of his parents' genes.

"There is no secret behind this. I would only thank my 'ami' and 'abbajaan' who has given me these genes. Whatever we are, it is given by our parents. I try to live a healthy life," he said.
