Happy birthday to Aamir Khan.
He’ll always be one of the greatest actors in Bollywood. Yes he’s made some bad choices as has everyone else, but his good choices have made incredible impact on Hindi cinema. From Lagan to Rang De Basanti to Tara Zameen Par to Dangal.
Oh yes, his birthday was yesterday...the oldest of the "three Khans"
He may not belong to MY favourite actors but - without any doubt - belongs to those with interesting, very successful and well-made movies. I wish him health and many positive work-years in future
If you've watched DCH, RDB and Gajini, you may enjoy this little birthday gift, a fanmade video:

Edited by Clochette - 2 months agoHappy birthday.
Part of some of greatest, pathbreaking films that changed face of commercial Indian cinema.
I am glad he did TZP, RDB, 3 Idiots.
No one else could have chosen TZP as a directorial debut and produced it.
He taught the world there is more to Bollywood than romance or action.
A sensitive story teller.
Part of our childhood.
You may debate him offscreen but he is sincere onscreen.
He exposed fraud awards, bikau media and political interference in creative liberty of actors. He worked and succeeded on own terms in a ruthlessly notorious and rigidly traditional culture. He is not a bootlicker or sycophant nor feeds biscuits to media.
That alone is his success.
May you choose better scripts like old days. Set new benchmarks in content and BO as you did earlier. May you take fewer breaks and have less controversies.
Thanks for memories and best of luck for future.
