Aamir Khan Decided To Quit Films! Bollywood Perfectionist Reveals The Reasons. Aamir Khan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par which is a sequel to 2007 Taare Zameen Par. Aamir Khan is busy producing the films under his banner. His last film Laapataa Ladies made it to the Oscars. Sitaare Zameen Par is scheduled to hit the theatres on 2025 Christmas. Now, Aamir Khan revealed that he decided to quit films.
The Bollywood Perfectionist said, “Towards the end of COVID-19, I felt, sitting alone and thinking I’ve spent the bulk of my adult life, starting from the age of 18 when I became an assistant right up to now, all of my bandwidth, my focus has been cinema and films. As a result, it made me realize that perhaps I’ve not been there enough for my relationships– my kids, my siblings, my family, whether it was Kiran when I was married to her, whether it was Reena when I was married to her. I felt that I had not been there for these people. This was midway during Laal Singh.”
“I went through that emotional moment where I felt I’ve given my whole life to cinema and I’ve not been there for my family. So at that time, I went, I felt a lot of guilt, I didn’t feel good about what I had done, so it was a kind of an emotional reaction of me saying that, and I’ve done enough films, 35 years I’ve done films I can now focus on my family and personal relationships…So I called my family and said, ‘Listen I’m not going to do films anymore, I want to spend time with you guys’. So that was my reaction. It was not out of any disappointment with cinema or some such thing. It was more of an emotional feeling. And I’m an extreme person.”
Aamir Khan‘s son, Junaidh Khan gave a simple advice to his father suggesting “Somewhere in the middle also there is a space that you can be in. You can do films, and you can be with us”. Junaid actually made him understand that he can do both.
He is currently gearing up for his upcoming film release Sitaare Zameen Par. The film is a sequel to 2007 Taare Zameen Par. Sitaare Zameen Par is scheduled to hit the theatres on 2025 Christmas.
