Biography
Aamir Khan made his acting debut at the age of eight in his uncle Nasir Hussian's musical movie 'Yadoon Ki Baraat ' which was followed up by a cameo in his father’s production 'Madhosh ' both of which were small cameos but the stage had been set for his entry into cinema by then. After completing his schooling at J B. Petit School and St Annes High School Bandra, which as he recalls was the most struggling days of his life due to the consecutive box office failures of his father’s productions leading to financial difficulty for the family back then. Khan after completing schooling was keen to attempt cinema. Thus Aamir Khan started working on an experimental 40-minute silent film at the age of sixteen named “Paranoia” which was directed by his friend Aditya Bhattacharya with a shoestring budget. Aamir Khan played the lead role along with Neena Gupta and Victor Bannerjee in the silent feature also assisting the director for the movie. “Paranoia” was a life-changing experience for the star which gave him the extra push to go out and seek a place for himself in the acting world. After the film Paranoia, Khan joined a theatre troop called Avantat where he was moulded into a serious actor and developed his acting skills to make it big in cinema one day. After doing some plays in Hindi and English, Khan discontinued his studies and ventured into mainstream cinema by assisting his uncle Nasir Hussian in movies like Manzil Manzil (1984) and Zabardast (1985) It was a crucial decision at that time due to his family’s financial problems, who wanted him to stay away from the cinema.
