Aamir Khan's Emotional Confession: Work Cost Family Time

Aamir Khan expressed deep emotion at the Singapore International Film Festival, revealing that his dedication to his film career came at the cost of precious family time. He described prioritizing work for 30 years, which led to him feeling a significant sense of loss as his children grew up. This realization, occurring at age 56, prompted Khan to focus more on his relationships over the past four years.

During the festival, where he received the Screen Icon Award, Khan also discussed future projects. Director Rajkumar Hirani is reportedly developing a script for a '3 Idiots' sequel, with Khan expecting to hear the final version soon. Additionally, filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi is said to be working on a follow-up to the 1994 cult comedy 'Andaz Apna Apna.'

Khan reflected on his early career, sharing struggles after his debut hit and how he once rejected a film from Mahesh Bhatt due to script dissatisfaction, a decision he believes preserved his integrity. He also touched upon the global reach of his films, the role of AI in filmmaking, and his practice of sometimes taking a share of earnings for smaller productions to mitigate producer risk.
