Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, known as "Mr. Perfectionist", is one of the most respected and beloved stars in the Indian film industry. However, did you know, KLovers, that Aamir once decided to step away from the film world? In a recent interview, Aamir revealed the reasons why he considered retiring from the world that has made his name, as well as how his children, Junaid and Ira, convinced him not to give up on the career he has pursued for over three decades.
Aamir Khan revealed in his interview with The Hollywood Reporter India that the decision to stop making films came at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. He felt that for a long time, since the age of 18, he had spent his entire life in the film industry. "I feel that maybe I haven't been present enough for my relationships—for my children, my siblings, my family," said Aamir.

He explained further that the feeling arose while he was in the process of shooting Laal Singh Chaddha. Aamir felt that for many years he had been too focused on his career, thus neglecting his relationships with those closest to him. "I feel that I was not present enough for these people, whether it was Kiran when I married her, or Reena when I married her," said Aamir, reminiscing about those times.
The feeling of guilt increasingly burdened his mind. Aamir felt he had given his entire life to the film world, while family and personal relationships had to be neglected. "At that time, I felt a lot of guilt, I did not feel good about what I had done," he said. As a result of that feeling, Aamir made a big decision.
"Finally, I decided to quit the film industry," Aamir continued. "I feel that 35 years in the film industry is enough, now it's time to focus on my family and personal relationships," he added. He then contacted his family and said that he wanted to spend more time with them. "I called my family and said, 'Listen, I'm not going to do films anymore, I want to spend time with you,'" he reminisced.
However, Aamir's decision to quit didn't last long. His eldest son, Junaid, who saw his father in confusion, provided a different perspective. Junaid assured Aamir that there was no need to choose between family and career so drastically. "You can continue making films, and you can also be with us," Junaid told Aamir.
Junaid's statement made Aamir realize that he did not need to choose one over the other, but could find a balance between the two. "My son says that I don't need to make an extreme decision, there is a space in the middle that I can live in," Aamir said, recalling the conversation with his son.
Finally, Aamir Khan decided to continue his career in the film industry while trying to maintain a better balance in his life. Although the film world remains an important part of his life, he is now more aware of the importance of personal relationships and time spent with family.
