Aamir Khan might be one of the idiots in the film 3 Idiots, but with his unique film promotion style he has proved that he is a marketing genius. He recently highlighted the weavers' community through the Catch Me If You Can game. He explained to Kareena Kapoor that the weavers earn mere Rs 30-40 for their products which are further sold for thousands of rupees. No wonder his colleagues now call him Marketing Monster.
Aamir Khan took Bollywood by storm with his debut film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, humming the chartbuster song Papa kehte hain. His twinkling eyes, mischievous smile, flawless performances and careful selection of films soon secured a niche for Aamir Khan and made him one of India's leading actors.
As an actor, Aamir Khan has given such hits as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), Dil (1990), Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991), Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Rangeela (1995), Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Sarfarosh (1999), Raja Hindustani (1996), Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Lagaan (2001) and Rang De Basanti (2006).
Aamir began his equally successful career as a producer with Lagaan and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008). He also directed and produced the hit movie Taare Zameen Par (2007). His first production, Lagaan, was nominated for the Oscar Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
Aamir is married to Kiran Rao, and has two children, Junaid and Aira, from his earlier marriage to Reena.
