India is watching, breathing, and praying for him. He is the crown jewel of the film industry, who has made not only Bollywood but also the whole country proud. Aamir Khan's Lagaan is in the top 5 films for the race in the best foreign film category. Lagaan has been a stepping stone not just for his success, but has inspired many small independent and budding film makers to take a risk that Aamir took, and make a film that does not just play to the masses but also is a classic in its own sense.
Aamir has always been an exception to the star label that the actors in the industry flaunt. Avoiding gossip columns in the film magazines, and staying away from the hypocrisy of the film awards, he has concentrated on carving a niche for himself in a place where you are respected on the basis of your last film. No matter if his films flopped, or critics ripped them apart, Aamir has never looked back. Be it his first success 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', or his most cherished performance as the street smart Munna in 'Rangeela' , Aamir Khan has been the favourite with the front benchers as well as the classes. His chocolate boy looks never hampered his desire to take on different and varied roles. Infact his debut film 'Rakh' was one of the most challenging roles that he has ever played. The last year has been one of the best years in his career, with his home production 'Lagaan' getting critical and commercial acclaim worldwide, and 'Dil Chahta Hai' setting a new trend in film making , giving Aamir nothing less than unparalled success.
