Aamir was first introduced as a child artiste in the 1970's hit Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973) -- he was the youngest child in the trio. He 'quit' movies and went on to become the state tennis champion for Maharashtra. Aamir also fell in love with the girl next door in the meantime. He proposed to her the day he turned 21, and she accepted. But apparently, there was opposition since she was from a Hindu family and he, from a devout Islamic one. So, they eloped, got married and returned to their homes. Aamir's wife Reena even appears in the song "Papa Kehte Hain" that made him the darling of the nation. From the tremendous success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), which was released when he was 23, he has blossomed into India's finest actor. His list of sterling performances include Dil (1990), _Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1990)_, _Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander (1992)_, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Rangeela (1995), Raja Hindustani (1996), Ishq (1997), Ghulam (1998) and Sarfarosh (1999).His performance in Earth (1998) as the Ice-Candy man has received rave reviews from Indian and International critics. Using classic "method acting", Aamir acts in all genres of Indian films - comedy, action, drama and romance. Though he performs in few films, Aamir Khan is acknowleged today as the most complete Indian actor for his diverse choice of roles and films.IMDb Mini Biography By: http://www.imdb.com/

21 May 2007 (Sawf News) - Following irreconcilable differences with his director Amol Gupte, Aamir Khan the perfectionist, took over the direction of his film Tare Zameen Par.
The film, says Mumbai Mirror, is a sensitive story of a child and his teacher and for the first time, Aamir Khan will feature as the official director in the credits.
"When Aamir saw the rushes after a few weeks, he was not happy with the film and Amol Gupte's work," says a source from Aamir Khan Productions.
"Aamir bluntly expressed his displeasure. He lost faith in Amol as a director when he saw the rushes. He offered to return the script to Amol to choose another producer if he so wished. But Amol and Aamir had worked on it so long, that the former requested Aamir to take over the director's cap.
Aamir could not delay the shooting of the film beyond end of 2007 as the film's child protagonist, Darsheel Safary, would look grown up considerably and the production house would have had to look for another child star.
Aamir believed that Darsheel was the perfect choice for the role and he therefore completed the film on time. The film is now in the post-production phase and will be released by Dec
