Aamir Hussain Khan was born on March 14, 1965
Aamir Khan was born to Tahir and Zeenat Hussain in Mumbai (then Bombay). His father Tahir Hussain was a film producer while his uncle is the noted producer-director Nasir Hussain.
Aamir is the eldest of Tahir and Zeenat Hussain's four chidren.
Aamir has a brother - Faisal Khan - and two sisters - Farhat and Nikhat
He studied at St. Anne's High School and later shifted to Bombay Scottish School.
Aamir began his film career as a chid actor in his uncle Nasir Hussain's blockbuster 1973 film Yaadon Ki Baaraat followed by Madhosh in 1974
His first film as an adult was Ketan Mehta's 1984 film Holi. The film also starred Ashutosh Gowariker, Om Puri, Shreeram Lagoo, Deepti Naval and Naseeruddin Shah.
He made his presence felt in Bollywood with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) opposite Juhi Chawla. The film was directed by his cousin Mansoor Khan and went on to be a major blockbuster.
Aamir fell in love with Reena Dutta and the two got secretly married before the release of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.
Aamir and Reena have two children, a son Junaid and a daughter Ira.
During his younger days Aamir was an avid tennis player
Prior to turning a full-time actor Aamir worked as an assistant in three films, Manzil Manzil, Zabardast and Zamane Ko Dikhana Hain. It was during those days that he develped a passion for direction.
The hit pair of Aamir and Juhi appeared together again in the 1989 film Love Love Love. The duo were to feature in many hits (and flops) together in the years to follow.
Then began another sting of not-so-successful films for Aamir. Aamir's flop haul of 1991 and 1992 included Afsana Pyar Ka, Isi Ka Naam Zindagi, Daulat Ki Jung, Sahebzaade and Parampara.
Aamir turned producer in 2001 with Ashutosh Gowarikar's Lagaan.
In December 2002 Aamir filed for divorce with Reena. The couple had been married for 15 years.
On December 28, 2005 Aamir married Kiran Rao. Kiran was assisting director Ashutosh Gowariker in Lagaan.
Ghajini (2008) went on to break all box office records.
If Ghajini had set a new record for Aamir Khan, he was soon to shatter it with 3 Idiots (2009). Aamir's next film Dhobi Ghaat was directed by his wife Kiran Rao.
Not only in films, Aamir Khan has made a mark in the world of ads too.
