Aamir Khan: Depression After Film Flops

Aamir Khan has opened up about the significant toll that box office failures have taken on his mental well-being. He described experiencing a period of depression for two to three weeks following the underperformance of films such as Laal Singh Chaddha. Khan attributed some of these challenges to overconfidence stemming from previous successes.

During his reflections, Khan detailed how he analyzes failures with his team to learn from mistakes. He acknowledged that a risk assessment for Laal Singh Chaddha, which had a production cost of approximately 200 crore, might have revealed its limited earning potential of around 120 crore. He also noted the pandemic's impact on production costs.

Despite the setbacks, Khan now views these failures as valuable lessons that propel him toward making better films. Collaborators like Kareena Kapoor Khan noted his deep disappointment but also his resilience. Khan has since focused on new projects, including Sitaare Zameen Par and Laapataa Ladies.
