Alex: Welcome to our podcast, I'm your host Alex. Today, we have the renowned
actor Aamir Khan joining us to discuss his career, family, and experiences in
the film industry. Aamir, thanks for being here.
Jordan: Thank you for having me, Alex. I'm excited to share my insights and
stories with your audience.
Alex: Let's dive right in. Aamir, you've been open about your struggles with
marriage. Can you tell us about your first marriage with Reema Kagti?
Jordan: Yes, my first marriage was a significant chapter in my life.
Unfortunately, it ended in divorce. Although it was a difficult time, I
learned a great deal from the experience and have been able to move forward
positively.
Alex: You've also been vocal about the importance of family. Can you share
with us what it's like to grow up in a family of actors, with your father
Tahir Hussain and uncle Nasir Hussain being part of the industry?
Jordan: Growing up in a family of actors, I was exposed to the film industry
from a young age. I saw firsthand the hard work and dedication that went into
creating movies. My father and uncle were both talented individuals who
inspired me to pursue a career in acting.
Alex: Nepotism is a highly debated topic in the film industry. As someone who
has benefited from the industry's connections, do you think it's a fair
criticism?
Jordan: I understand the concerns surrounding nepotism, but I believe it's not
entirely fair to dismiss the role of family connections in the industry. While
it's true that some people have an advantage due to their connections, it's
also important to recognize the hard work and talent required to succeed in
this field.
Alex: Your latest film, Dangal, was a massive hit. What inspired you to take
on this role, and how did you prepare for it?
Jordan: The story of Dangal resonated with me because it's a powerful
exploration of the struggles faced by women in a patriarchal society. To
prepare for the role, I worked closely with the director, Nitesh Tiwari, and
spent time with real-life wrestlers to learn about their training and mental
preparation.
Alex: Your film, 3 Idiots, has become a cultural phenomenon in India. What do
you think is the key to its enduring popularity?
Jordan: I believe the success of 3 Idiots can be attributed to its relatable
storyline and memorable characters. The film's themes of perseverance,
self-discovery, and the importance of following one's dreams resonated with
audiences across the country.
Alex: Finally, Aamir, what advice would you give to young actors and
filmmakers who are just starting out in their careers?
Jordan: To anyone just starting out, I would say stay true to your passion and
never give up on your dreams. The film industry can be challenging, but with
hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn, you can achieve great
things.
