Bollywood Star Aamir Khan Reveals He "Quits Flimmaking" Superstar Aamir Khan says that he took a step back from his successful acting career in Bollywood amid the Covid outbreak to be with his family. He is known for some of India’s most popular films including Lagaan and 3 Idiots Dangal, told BBC News that he said to his family: “I’m done with acting and films.” He confessed “I [didn’t] want to produce or direct or act. I just wanted to be with the family.” However, he also added that nobody outside his family really noticed because of the major hiatus in the movie industry caused by the global pandemic – “no-one knew about it” – before his children persuaded him to go back to work. “They were like, ‘But we can’t spend 24 hours with you. So get real and get a life.' So they gently nudged me back into the films.” Khan’s latest film was Laapataa Ladies (‘Lost Ladies‘) which is India’s entry for Oscar Awards in international feature film category. If it wins, it will be the first Indian title to do so. Laapataa Ladies is a story of a young man who took home the wrong bride. On the other end, his wife also gets stranded and is forced to go on alone. The BBC describes it as “a satire looking at the treatment of women, including touching on the sensitive topic of domestic violence.” Directed by Kiran Rao, who was earlier married to Aamir Khan. The pair separated in 2021 after 16 years of marriage, but Khan told the BBC he was determined Rao would do justice to the project: “I think the reason I chose Kiran was because I knew that she would be very honest with it and that’s what I wanted.”
