Aamir Khan is one of the most loved actors of the country and his fans want to see more of him on the big screen but you will be shocked to know that there was a time when he decided to quit the industry as he wanted to spend time with his family members.
In an old interview, Aamir Khan revealed that he decided to quit Bollywood before the release of his movie, Laal Singh Chaddha but he didn’t announce it to his fans as it would have appeared to be a promotional stunt. He informed his family members about it and at that time, they remained silent but later on his children told him that it would be better if he finds a balance in life.
Aamir said in an interview, “No I quit. Nobody knows this. I’m saying for the first time, you will be shocked. I had informed my family that I won’t be doing any films from now onwards. Neither I’ll act nor I will produce any films. I don’t want to do all this. I just want to spend my time with you all. Kiran and her parents, Reena and her parents, my children, my family are there. I felt that. I understand it was a response in anger. My family was shocked as I was conveying it to them in such an intense way. Nobody argued with me. Then I thought I should tell people that I won’t be acting in films now. Then I said if I tell people they will say, ‘This is his marketing scheme as his film Laal Singh Chaddha is about to release, he is announcing his retirement’.”
He further added, “So I thought it’s better to not say this. Anyway, my film comes after three or four years. Once Laal Singh Chaddha gets released nobody will realise if I’m doing anything for the next three or four years. By then I’ll leave the industry and nobody will know. So I decided not to say anything and three months passed like this. One day, my children told me that you are an extreme person, don’t do this. It will be better if you find a balance in life. I had quit films. In my heart, I had left films. My children and Kiran explained to me I am doing the wrong thing. Kiran cried and said, ‘When I see you, I see films residing inside you. What are you saying I’m unable to understand’. A lot happened in two years, I quit the industry and came back.”
Hopefully Aamir Khan will act in more movies.
