Sometimes Khans can fail: Aamir
Actor-producer Aamir Khan finds it unfair that three names are always singled out whenever the media talks about stardom in Bollywood. He says there are many other “talented stars” who are ding good work in the Hindi film industry.
Films of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan always touch the Rs 100 crore mark within three to four days of their release, but their latest films didn’t meet the same fate. However, Aamir said, “I think there are ups and downs in every creative person's life. We all try our best to do our work. We try to make sure that everyone likes the films that we make. But at times we succeed, at times we fail.”
‘It's a pretty shitty world we live in. I'm a public figure. I understand that I don't have the luxury of a private and an anonymous life. But that doesn't give any man the right to misbehave with me. Don't confuse ‘fan antics' with that. I am a woman at the end of the day.’
