Born on March 14, 1965, in Mumbai, he hails from a family deeply rooted in the film industry. His uncle, Nasir Hussain, was a celebrated filmmaker, while his father, Tahir Hussain, was a producer. Despite this, Aamir's father initially discouraged him from pursuing acting, even threatening to disown him if he joined the film industry. This opposition stemmed from his father's belief that the film industry was financially unstable. Aamir Khan's film career began in 1984 with a brief role in the experimental film Holi.

In Dangal, he portrayed Mahavir Singh Phogat, a former wrestler who trains his daughters to become world-class wrestlers, a role that showcased his dedication to transforming his physique and embodying the character authentically. In addition to acting, Aamir Khan has ventured into directing and producing. He directed and produced Taare Zameen Par, which was both a commercial success and a critical darling.
