Overview
- Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2025, Aamir Khan said early post‑QSQT choices left him unhappy with his work and in tears most evenings.
- He recalled signing 8–9 films after his breakout, realizing he was not built to juggle multiple projects and that the approach was a mistake.
- After several releases failed and he was labeled a “one film wonder,” he vowed to accept work only when the script, director and producer met his standards.
- He recounted declining a Mahesh Bhatt offer during his lowest period, describing that refusal as the turning point that gave him courage for later decisions.
- Hindustan Times noted his recent film Sitaare Zameen Par crossed ₹200 crore worldwide in theatres and then skipped OTT for a direct release on YouTube.
