The enmity between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan is creating problems for Bollywood stars. Salman has asked his friends to stay way from SRK. Many stars are facing difficulty in attending parties where these Khans are present because taking favor of any one would annoy the other Khan.

Aamir Khan sticking to his unique reputation is again giving something truly 'hatke' to his millions of fans.

His next release is Ghajini which is likely to be released by 26th December. Aamir Khan has asked his film makers to start work on a very user friendly interactive website for the film’s promotion instead of a "teaser promo" followed by big theatrical promo technique.

At a press conference Aamir called himself a Marathi. He said that he was born and brought up in Maharashtra and had great respect for Marathis as a whole. He said that he considered himself lucky coz he was a Marathi. 

On this occasion, Aamir emphasized that people must stay away from politicians who want to divide the country on the basis of Religon. 

Shah Rukh popularly known as the ‘King Khan’ seems unlikely to subdue his counterpart Aamir Khan. With both getting their share of appreciation for the work they do, the seemingly rivalry between the two actors is more than evident. Though not seen at loggerheads directly the indirect competition between the two cannot be overlooked.

If everything goes as planned, you can see Aamir Khan playing the role of legendary Kishore Kumar in Percept Pictures next film. Aamir Khan may most probably end up giving his nod for playing the role of legendry singer-actor Kishore Kumar in the biopic that is being made on him.

"I have been approached by Percept Pictures for the film on Kishore Kumar. They have asked me to play the role of Kishore Kumar,” Aamir told during a function.

We are all aware of the unbelievable accomplishments of the legendary Kishore Kumar who became a household name in the 70's and 80's and even today.

After playing a kindhearted teacher in blockbuster ‘Taare Zameen Par’, perfectionist Aamir Khan will be seen in a ‘killer’ look in his upcoming flick ‘Ghajini.’

Aamir sports a masculine bare-chested-look with stylish tattoos on it.

Aamir also said that it was his primary attempt at doing an out an out action role, so he had to work hard for this unique look.

The actor also shows off his eight-packs in the movie for which, he had to undergo extreme physical training and gymming for almost a year.

One of the most awaited flicks of the year 2008 ‘Ghajini’ is now on the verge of launching.

Recently, ace Bollywood actor Aamir Khan unveiled the first look of ‘Ghajini’.

The one minute clip shows Aamir in a killer look, for which he had to undergo extreme physical training and gymming for several months.

Aamir sports a masculine bare-chested-look with stylish tattoos on it.

The movie, which was planned for release on Diwali, will now hit the theatres on Christmas, Dec 25.

Aamir Khan Percept Picture Company (PPC) has decided to make a biographical movie on yesteryear’s topmost actor and singer Kishore Kumar.

Moreover, PPC is keen to take Aamir for portraying the role of singer in the movie.

Aamir is back with his to be released ‘Ghajini’, and has endorsed an all new look not only with his hairstyle but a new persona, which he worked hard for several weeks.

After Shah Rukh worked for the six pack abs for his block buster ‘Om Shanti Om’, it is now Aamir who has developed eight pack abs for the new role he is playing in ‘Ghajini’.

Aamir Khan, a perfectionist to the core, is as critical of his own work as he is of those around him. Though most people can’t stop raving about the actor’s ‘bald head-bare chest look’ in his forthcoming flick ‘Ghajini’, Aamir himself is apparently not happy with the way his new look has turned out to be!

If reports are to be believed, the actor feels that he could not give his hundred percent, and could have pulled off a far better job with his killer street-fighter look if he had got the chance to train more.

No matter how much the filmmaker and the cast of 'Ghajini" claim that the Hindi film is not an exact 'remake' of a South film by the same name - which, in turn, is the remake of Christopher Nolan's 'Memento' - the stark similarity between Aamir Khan and Guy Pearce's look is hard to miss! In fact, it a little tough to buy the "not being similar" story!

Here’s a sad news for the fans of the Perfectionist Khan aka Aamir Khan.

Veteran writer Shakuntala Devi has created a sensation by saying that the movie ‘Taare Zameen Par’ is a scene-by-scene copy of his novel ‘In the Wonderland Of Numbers’.

The 69 year writer claims that her book talks about a nine year old girl suffering from dyslexia much like the character of Ishaan Awasthi played by Darsheel Safary.

According to Shakuntala, some of the sequences in the movie have been copied chapter by chapter from her book.

Ace Bollywood actor Aamir Khan will grace the cover of an upcoming issue of India’s leading magazine ‘GQ’.

The famous Life style magazine is a ‘December edition.’

Aamir Khan’s much-awaited film Ghajini is ready to hit the theatres on Christmas

Aamir Khan has expressed “deep condolences” over the sudden death of H. Sridhar, a four-time national award-winning sound engineer of the Indian film industry.

Sridhar died of a cardiac arrest on November 30. Khan flew all the way to Chennai to attend the funeral of Sridhar.

Aamir’s hindi version of ‘Ghajini’ is the most awaited film of this year, which will be released on December 25, 2008.

Moreover, Aamir’s macho look in the movie has impressed audiences a lot.

Seems like many others, sleek promos of ‘Ghajini’ and Aamir’s look have left an impact on SRK’s mind.

The rumor is that Bollywood Badshah has now zeroed in on Aamir and he is very much excited to do a film with Mr. Perfectionist.

Cinematographer Ravi K Chandran who has shot the actor’s projects ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and ‘My Name is Khan’ is said to have recommended Murugadoss.

The two keenly anticipated movies of this year SRK’s ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and Aamir’s ‘Ghajini’ now have different challenges to meet.

There are also hopes that both the films will put an end to the lacklustre season in the Hindi film industry (Bollywood).

But the most important thing is that, they’ll lure back film fans who have kept away from cinemas since the Mumbai  attacks.

During the last two weeks, the majority of Mumbai’s 75-plus multiplexes witnessed below 30% occupancy.

Aamir Khans much awaited 'Ghajini' seems to have run into bad weather. Apparently, Shah Rukh Khan starrer flick 'Rab Ne Banadi Jodi' has seized the maximum number of screens in the multiplexes, giving 'Ghajini' tough competition even in the second week of its release.

The perfectionaist Khan aka the Bollywood legend Aamir Khan starrer ‘Ghajini’ is touted as one of the most violent film in the recent past.

However, the producers of film feel that Ghajini does not showcase an overdose of violence.

While speaking on this, Madhu Mantena, producer of Ghajini said, “It's not a tale of violence. It's a tale of retribution. And at the moment after 26/11 everyone wants answers. Films about retribution are always liked."

Many star struck men and boys visited the salons to get the perfect Ghajini cut. Two lucky fans got their hair buzzed by the Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan himself at a market in the capital. Aamir said, "Quite a lot of people are getting this Ghajini haircut from various places, so I thought I will give the cut to some of my fans myself. I felt very light when I got it done - there was no need to comb my hair after the bath."

A great hair cut was given by Aamir to Shamshir, a hairstylist, and Shivek, a grade five student, in the presence of a huge crowd.

Here’s sad news for perfectionaist Khan aka the Bollywood legend Aamir Khan fans.

One of the most anticipated films of the year, Ghajini starring Aamir Khan may not be released on Christmas Day.

On Tuesday, the all-India release of the film has been stayed by the Madras High Court. In its order, the Madras High Court has asked the producer of the film to not release the film.

One of the most awaited films of the year, Aamir Khan’s ‘Ghajini’ finally released on the Christmas day. The Madras High Court lifted the stay on the film's release with an interim order on Wednesday after the film's makers offered to pay guarantee money to the court.

Hearing on the case will be resumed on the January 6, 2009. The producer of Tamil version of the movie, A Chandreshekhar accused makers of ‘Ghajini’ of forging documents to get the copyright. Producers of the ‘Ghajini’ used every possible chance for publicity of the movie to increase public interest in the movie.

Director: A. R. Murugadoss

Cast: Aamir Khan, Asin, Jiah Khan

Here is Aamir bringing into vogue yet another new hairstyle topped with a "to die for" physique complete with eight pack abs. HEY GIRLS at least let me finish my review before you rush! The movie is going to stick around in the theatres for quite a long time.

The much awaited Ghajini, starring the talented Aamir Khan was released on Christmas day. However, when you go to watch the film, be prepared to see a lot of violence. When you see an angry Aamir Khan ramming an iron pipe through a man’s stomach in the first few minutes of the film, you get some idea of what’s coming for the next three hours.

The look carried by Aamir is worth noticing and it has already become much hype among the youth. The body covered with tattoos and the much sort after hair cut is supported by his super fist that can beat multiple scary-looking villains who attack him all at once.

Aamir Khan’s directorial debut Taare Zameen Par has bagged the Gold Award for Best Flick at the V Shantaram Awards.

According to sources, Amir Khan has got Silver Best director award for Taare Zameen.

Additionally, Neeraj Pandey directed ‘A Wednesday’ and Marathi flick ‘Tingya’ has received the Silver and Bronze award in the Best Film category.

Ashutosh Gowariker has received the Best Director Bronze award for Jodhaa Akbar.
 

Two multi-talented Bollywood actors Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan have brought people back to the cinema halls after the Mumbai terror attacks.

The superb performance of SRK’s ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, and the impressive beginning of Aamir’s ‘Ghajini’ proved that if you give the viewers what they wish for, they’ll flock.

Both the movies have brought some end-of-the-year cheer to the Hindi film industry.

According to recent reports, the Murugadoss directed film Ghajini is heading for a surprising 35–40 crore weekend, if collections hold at the current level.

The Rajkamal Academy of Cinematic Excellence (RACE), founded by V Shantaram in 1975, has been presenting the V Shantaram Awards from last 15 years. The academy confers three categories of awards - Gold, Silver and Bronze to directors.

This year Aamir Khan's directorial debut Taare Zameen Par has won the Gold Award for Best Film while Neeraj Pandey's A Wednesday and Marathi film Tingya got the Silver and Bronze award in the Best Film category.

It covers various stories of childhood and memories of Bollywood. 'Bachchanalia' was released in the presence of all family members of Amitabh Bachchan including Abhishek and Aishwarya.

Aamir Khan's Ghajini has smashed all records by grossing over Rs 100 crore in one week.

"Historic Hit in 14 minutes and 52 seconds," read the posters across the city.

"Ghajini has had the biggest box office opening and collections this year. It is the first movie to cross more than 100 crores in a week. The collections, as of 31st December, were Rs 140 crores and we are still counting," said the spokesperson for Ghajini.

The audience seem to have given the movie a thumbs up even though the critics do not think too much of it.

Troubles are not yet over for Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini, as the movie has been taken to court once again.

After having tided over the copyright row, this time, Ghajini is up against the social activist Pratibha Naitthani.

According to Pratibha Nathani, the film is sending out a wrong message as the gruesome aggression portrayed in the scenes could have a negative impact on children.

In her petition, which is likely to be heard next week, Naitthani said that children should not be exposed to such violent scenes.

Recently Aamir Khan said that he has no qualms about working with Shah Rukh, however, King Khan is “scared” to work with him. He also talked about his movies, ambition and the ‘perfectionist, control-freak’ tag that trails him whatever he does.

Aamir said, “I'm not a control freak. I'm realistic about my limits. When I act in a film, it's the director who is the boss. It's not my responsibility to control the film. But I'm always there if the director wants any help or suggestion. I just go with the flow.”

After entertaining viewers with their sizzling chemistry in Dil Chahta hai, bollywood’s Mr. perfectionist Aamir Khan and bubbly Preity Zinta are pairing up again in Yash Chopra’s upcoming flick.  

According to the sources, Yash Chopra has himself penned down the script of the flick. The rumor mills say that the movie, which is yet to get any title, is also going to be a romantic one like all Chopra films.

The relationship between India and Pakistan is not so good after the Mumbai terrorist attack on 26th November, 2008, and that’s why the release of SRK’s ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and Aamir’s ‘Ghajini’ have been banned in Pakistan.

But now ‘Ghajini’ is releasing in Pakistan on Friday.

Mr. Nadeem Mandviwalla, top distributor and exhibitor, stated, “Ghajini has been cleared by the censors and we are anticipating it to be a big hit in Pakistan as it is Aamir's first release in theaters in the country.”

When the long awaited Ghajini arrived at cinema halls, it was but expected that it will attract a lot of audience as the movie stars "Mr. Perfectionist" Aamir Khan. The latest news is that the movie on Wednesday became the first Hindi movie to gross Rs 200 crore at the box office worldwide.

The film earned more than Rs 162 crore in the domestic market and Rs 39 crore overseas.

Trade consultant Amod Mehra said, "The film was strong from day One. It has been galloping like a one-horse race and, in my estimate; it will cross the Rs-250-crore (gross) mark very easily."

Multi-talented actor Akshay Kumar has topped the list of income tax payers in the Bollywood industry.

Akki, who has pushed King Khan to the No. 2 position, paid Rs 19 crore in taxes, and turned the highest taxpayer in the country this year.

On the other hand, Shahrukh Khan has paid around Rs 15 crore in income tax.

On the celebrity tax payer list, the third position goes to Hrithik Roshan with a payment of Rs 8 crore, while Aamir Khan is on fourth place, who paid Rs 7 crore as income tax.

It seems that Perfectionist Khan aka Bollywood legend Aamir Khan’s Ghajini is breaking box-office records in almost all possible means. The film had received one of the best box-office openings in the country. On its opening at the box-office, the film gathered nearly Rs 7 crores, almost four times the biggest opening for any Bollywood film.

Buoyed by hefty box-office collections of 2008 blockbuster ‘Ghajini’, ace Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan said it shows the success of a movie.

Mr. Perfectionist said, “For me, the feeling that my hard work has been appreciated is priceless as I go by my instinct while choosing a script. When I hear a script, I react as an audience.”

He also said that it is not easy to define the potential of any film.

Ghajini has become Bollywood’s biggest money earners ever, raking in a surprising Rs 200 crore in just 14 days.

Music maestro A R Rahman has really made India proud by winning the high-status Golden Globe Award for Danny Boyle’s Mumbai based saga ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.

But 2007’s highly-acclaimed film ‘Taare Zameen Par’ (TZP) has failed to make it to the Oscar nomination list.

Aamir Khan’s directorial debut TZP, which was India’s official entry to Oscar, did not figure among the nine films (short listed in the foreign language film category) competing for the 81st Academy Awards.

Visibly upbeat after the record-breaking success of ‘Ghajini’, Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan aspires to woo the audience with the same results in all his upcoming movies.

While talking about his forthcoming much-awaited Rajkumar Hirani’s “3 Idiots”, the actor said, “Success is not in my hands. I can only follow my heart and work with all the sincerity and hard work that I always do. I would be happy if my next film 3 Idiots breaks all Ghajini records.”

The Bombay High Court on Friday has adjourned by a week the hearing of an appeal in response to public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the Censor Board's decision seeking an ‘A’ certification for Ghajini.

The petition, filed by Pratibha Nathani, a social activist and a professor of Political Science professor at St Xavier’s College, said that the film is sending out a wrong message as the gruesome aggression portrayed in the scenes could have a negative impact on children.

Please come and chat. Ive never spoken to you before i just wanna see you online :):) please I beg u:)

We caught up with Aamir Khan on his 44th birthday at his Pali Hill residence. Aamir who has been on a diet for his forthcoming film Three Idiots was avoiding eating his own birthday cake! When queried he said, "I am surviving on milk and few bananas as I have been asked to lose weight for the role."

About the war of words ensued between him and Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir clarified, "I only wish the best for him. There is no bad blood between me and him."

Well, Aamir Khan didn’t find the Oscar winning movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ a great film and was not impressed by its success. He also went public about it

But Danny Boyle seems to be interested in the Bollwood actor- director- producer's body of work. He also told the media that he loved Aamir Khan's work in ‘Taare Zameen Par.’

The actor who also saw success with ‘Ghajini’ was seen bonding with him and chatted for almost three hours at an event.

Danny Boyle was earlier planning a dark thriller on Mumbai and there’s a strong feeling that he might be casting Aamir in his next.

Aamir Khan has plans to send out voice messages to everybody's mobile phone urging them to vote. The star will be recording this public message very soon that will be part of a social service initiative launched by an NGO called ADR (Association of Democratic Reform). At a press conference held at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai, Aamir on Tuesday evening announced that he has shot three advertisements free of cost to support the campaign. The ads are penned by Prasoon Joshi and directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The print ads have been done by Avinash Gowarikar. The TV ads are currently being dubbed in various languages and shall be aired all over.

Aamir Khan advised Salman not to booze!

And, Sallu Miyan took Aamir’s words seriously, and says ‘no’ to alcohol.

The results are now there to see, Salman lost nearly 10 kilograms in the last two months.

Salman’s closed friend said Anil Sharma, director of his upcoming film ‘Veer’ asked him to tone up for the fight scenes, which were supposed to be shot in March.

Aamir Khan (born Aamir Hussain Khan on March 14, 1965) is an Indian film actor, director and producer.

Khan worked in a number of commercially successful films and has established himself as one of the leading actors of Hindi cinema, delivering a number of highly acclaimed performances.

He is also the founder-owner of Aamir Khan Productions.

Appearing as a child actor in his uncle Nasir Hussain's film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973), Khan began his professional career eleven years later, with the film, Holi (1984).

Aamir Khan today announced that he has gone on a holiday now with his two children but minus his wife Kiran as she is busy working on her first film as a director Dhobi Ghaat.

For this two months he will most of the times stay away from blogging. He writes to his blog fans, “I’m going to go off the map for the next two months folks. I think I needed a break in any case, as I was kind of not really there last couple months, if you know what I mean. So I will see you now in June. Or end May. Unless I start turkeying in which case I’ll drop a line. And once I"m back rested from my holiday I'll be much more connected.”

Aamir Khan’s fan club has just got itself another member.

At the meeting of the United Producers & Distributors Association(UPDA) Vashu Bhagnani’s hands and feet went cold with nervousness and pleasure when Aamir Khan walked up to him and assured the worried producer that his son’s debut film Kal Kisne Dekha will get a royal release in single theatres even if the multiplex theatres remain unavailable.

According to information from a source close to Bobby Khan, who supervises the 'Bollywood' segment at Madame Tussaud's in London, the next Indian actor likely to be 'waxed' at the famous wax museum is Aamir Khan.

The source said: "Aamir is popular and a Bollywood A-lister. He is definitely next!"

Rang De Basanti debutante Siddharth is yet to have his second Hindi release since three years after the Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra super hit released. While his second signed Hindi film, Striker is in the making for over two years, he doesn't seem to be making any headway in Bollywood. He has been more in the news in Bollywood town over his on and off affair with his Rang De co-star Soha Ali Khan than for his work. Now an industry insider has revealed what is the reason for him being not taken seriously in Bollywood.

Now-a-days, perfectionist Aamir is in search of a woman to do an item song in his upcoming home production ‘Delhi Belly’.

The reports said that the actor wants an extraordinary woman to pep up his medium budget production starring Imran Khan.

According to inside reports, initially, Aamir approached Kareena Kapoor for the item song.

But due to her busy schedule and shooting commitments, Bebo could not assign dates for the same.

The uncle nephew jodi of Aamir and Imran Khan seems to be on a pets loving spree. Our source, who is a close acquaintance of both the actors revealed an interesting story depicting their love for the lost roadside animals.

Audrey Hepburn's considered a great actress, humanitarian and a style icon worldwide. Till date the classic actress remains an all time favorite of many.

Our very perfectionist Aamir Khan has turned out to be one of her fans. Reportedly Aamir is a self-confessed fan of the late talented and beautiful actress and her movies, `Roman Holiday', `Sabrina', `Breakfast at Tiffany's' and `My Fair Lady'.

Aamir Khan's used to giving autographs to others.

So imagine the experience he had when he had to stand in a queue for an autograph, that also from cartoon star Mickey Mouse.

It was for his children and as a good daddy he had to do it for their sake.

It happened during a trip to Disneyland.

He's said in his blog: "... there roaming about in the theme parks were the characters of Mickey Mouse and Minny Mouse, with loads of children queuing up with their respective parents for an autograph and a photo with their favorite cartoon character."

Aamir Khan has decided to take a break from work and globe throttle with his two children.

All work and no play can make anyone dull, including Mr. Perfectionist.

His next film is Rajkumar Hirani's 'Three Idiots' on which he’s working very hard. In fact he’s been working non-stop for the last two years and hence has taken a long sabbatical for two months to holiday with his children.

He recently enjoyed his Canadian skiing vacation thoroughly and is recommending it to everyone.

Aamir Khan is getting ready to shake his legs for ‘Delhi Belly’, which stars his loving nephew and a dashing star Imran Khan, in the lead.

The item song, which will be a part of the film’s promotion, definitely add one more feather to the flooded cap of reasons to watch ‘Delly Belly’, which is directed by ace ad filmmaker Abhinay Deo.

There is also news that Mr. Perfectionist will himself handle the different factors of the song.

On this, Mr. Deo said, "I just cannot confirm or comment anything right now, since it's not yet confirmed."

Aamir Khan’s first attempt at of beat cinema, Raakh (1989) is re-releasing with digitally re-mastered prints on June 12th. The film that had practically gone unnoticed when released despite starring Aamir Khan because it had managed to get a very limited release with just six prints in three cities. The film starred Aamir Khan, Supriya Pathak, Pankaj Kapoor (in a National Award winning role), Naina Balsawer and Marathi theatre veteran actor Madhukar Toradmal. Incidentally, Aamir’s sister Nuzhat Khan has written the film’s dialogues. Nuzhat is actor Imran Khan’s mother.

Aamir Khan has given unforgettable performances in movies like Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par and Ghajini. He has dazzled audience with his each new look which is always in accordance with his role.

Valley of Flowers director Pan Nalin is planning to cast Aamir Khan as a madman in his new film. The film will be based on S'aadat Hassan Manto's famous short story Toba Tek Singh.

If all goes well Aamir will be playing the title role of Toba Tek Singh.

Nalin has approached Oscar-winner Kate Winslet to play Dr. Sophie.

Very few people know that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan made his debut as an actor through intense drama like Raakh in 1989. Although Raakh was not his first release. Audacity International founded by director Aditya Bhattacharya and Asif Noor, the producer of the film and 12 other investors will distribute and support the release of independent cinema in India. Raakh will be released on 12 June with
200 prints across India.

While it is confirmed that Aamir Khan's RAAKH will re-release exactly two decades after it was first screened in theaters way back in 1989, even Anupam Kher has decided to call for a special show for his debut flick SAARANSH. Though RAAKH is arriving for commercial release with a mid sized release being planned (there are talks that 200 odd prints of the film would be dispatched across the country), SAARANSH is coming due to purely emotional reasons.

Aamir Khan is now back to work after a two months long holiday break. Though his actual shoot begins from June 15th for 3 Idiots, he will be busy with some film related work from Monday June 1st.

Announcing his come back through his blog, Aamir states that in the vacation he played quiet a few board games such as Settlers Of Catan, Age Of Empires, Carrcassonne and Scotland Yard. These are basically all group games needing 4 to 6 players.

Bollywood has come out heavily on the racist's violence attacks on the Indian students in Australia.

After Bollywood superstar, Amitabh Bachchan, popular actor Aamir Khan has called upon the government of Australia to check the surge in racial attacks at once.

In his blog, www. aamirkhan. com/blog, Amir wrote that it was very disturbing that Indian students were being targeted by the Australians merely because of their skin color.

"Most disturbing to hear about racist attacks on Indians living in Australia. Quite a shame," wrote the actor in his blog.

The most socially aware actor in the Hindi film industry, Aamir Khan has criticized the recent wave of attacks on Indians living in Australia.

In his blog, the worried Khan wrote that he is most disturbed to hear about racist attacks on Indian people.

“While this doesn't mean that all Australians are racists, the frequency and seriousness of such attacks, I think, calls for an extraordinary reaction from the Australian authorities. And while we want action to be taken by authorities in Australia, equally we should remember all the various crimes against foreigners who visit India,” the blog reads.  

Reports are that Aamir Khan is set to be a dad once again as his wife Kiran Rao is pregnant for the first time.

It is learnt that Kiran is three months pregnant. She was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in South Mumbai for fever on May 31.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a source revealed, "During the hospitalisation, Aamir would visit her everyday. He used to come in late at night, after 9pm. It was obvious he did not want any attention. At the time of discharge, the pregnancy was normal and there was no reason to worry."

After recently getting discharged from hospital, Aamir Khan’s loving wife Kiran has been hospitalized again after the fever recurred.

After thorough tests, doctors discovered that Kiran has lung infection.  

Presently, Aamir is more worried about his wife’s health than anything else.

Bothered Aamir, who attends Kiran during night in hospital, heaved a sigh of relief after doctors identified Kiran’s problem, and with proper treatment she may get back in good condition.

When it comes to Bollywood, one can choose to be either a good actor or a commercially viable hero. Guess the only one who has struck a balance between the two is Aamir Khan. No, that’s also not true. There is one more name, Shreyas Talpade. Yes, yes, before you say the two cannot be compared, we are not comparing either. Just driving home the point that Shreyas can be a great actor and at the same time a commercially viable hero too.

Remember the famous late Mohd Rafi’s evergreen song, ‘Kya Hua Tera Wada’ or ‘Tum Kya Jano Mohabbat’, where one handsome boy sings these songs. He is Tariq, cousin brother of actors Aamir Khan and Faisal Khan. He was during those considered the hottest guy every girl would dream of marrying. He gave three biggest musicals hits of all time in Yaadon Ki Baraat, Zakhmee and Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin. Last week we caught him at the grand launch of Ali Reza’s Sheesha Sky Lounge, Andheri. He was seen with his wife in good mood but no one recognized him. He is presently working in a courier service.

The most gorgeous lady, Katrina Kaif and the hottest stud, Aamir Khan come together to recreate the magic of Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman on silver screen. The duo will be seen in a Guru Dutt biopic by Rakesh Om Prakesh Mehra.

The yet untitled film explores the life and love of Guru Dutt. The shooting for the same is expected to begin from October.

Aamir Khan donned the classic look of Guru Dutt and draws a lot of similarities by his dressing and hair style, while Katrina is looking an elegant reminiscence of Waheeda Rehman.

It is going to be a battle worth a watch as three biggies are all set to clash on the Republic Day weekend. Amitabh Bachchan's Rann, Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots and Ranbir Kapoor’s Rajneeti are slated now to release on January 22nd 2010.

Tragedy has struck the Khan household. Aamir Khan’s wife Kiran Rao has had a miscarriage due to which they have lost their baby.

Aamir had kept this tragic news hidden from everyone else for almost two months now. Finally revealing it in his latest blog entry, Aamir states, “I have bad news folks. Kiran and I lost our baby. Despite our best efforts we were unable to avert a miscarriage. The last 2 months have been a struggle for us and that is one of the reasons I was absent from the blog in more ways than one.”

Here’s a good news for ‘Quick Gun Murugan’ actor Rajendra Prasad.

The Tollywood actor has impressed none other than Aamir Khan, the perfectionist actor of Bollywood.

Aamir watched the movie at Ketnav theatre in Bandra with his cousin sister Nuzhat and friend Amin Haji. The Ghajini actor was so impressed by the movie that he mentioned about in his blog.

Danny Boyle may be about to bring two of Bollywood’s biggest stars together in his upcoming movie, Bombay Velvet. The Slumdog Millionaire director has signed on Aamir Khan and is now in talks with Shahrukh Khan to join the cast. The film will be directed by Anurag Kashyap and will be based on a series of real life incidents that happened in Bombay in the 1940s.

Rani Mukherjee is on cloud nine as she is returning on silver screen after two years. Her well-wishers and good friends are sticking by her and wishing her luck, and are giving her every possible tip for climbing the ladder of success, all over again.

That includes Rani’s two favorite co-stars, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. “During the making of the song bhangra, bistar, beer… with Rakhi Sawant; Aamir and SRK dropped in on the sets and gave tips to Rani for her manly avatar and behavior,” informs the source from the sets.

Mumbai, Sep 21 : Bollywood actor Aamir Khan on Monday celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr in Mumbai with his family and friends.

"Well, on the occasion of Eid, I will stay with my family, my mom and the friends who are here to meet me," Aamir Khan said.

During the holy month of Ramadan, devout Muslims stay on fast from dusk to dawn. They don't even drink water during the day.

At the end of Ramadan or month of fasting, Muslims hold a joyous three-day celebration called Eid-ul-Fitr.

New Delhi, Oct 16 - Bollywood star Aamir Khan has finished shooting for Rajkumar Hirani's much awaited "3 Idiots", based on Chetan Bhagat's bestseller "Five Point Someone", and confesses that now he is worried about the audiences' reaction.

With top notch Bollywood celebrities sashaying down the ramp, the second edition of the HDIL India Couture Week was high on glamour and less on couture.

All the Khans of the industry — Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, and Imran Khan walked the runway. Giving them company were B’town faces like Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Sridevi, Gauri Khan and Shruti Hasan.

After his personal and professional life went haywire, Aamir Khan’s step brother Hyder Ali realized that he needed to change his name to Rehaan Khan. His friends suggested the name change to him.

He has finished working on two films with his new name– Raja Bundela’s Dil to Deewana Hai with actress Sada and Triumph Card, an action film.

New Delhi, Oct 23 - The six-pack or the eight-pack abs of Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan may look mighty impressive but it's inspiring many youngsters to pump iron without being aware that this "exercise addiction" could prove fatal. This week two people in India were victims of "exercise addiction".

Forty-two year-old Ranjan Das, the youngest CEO in the country, collapsed with a massive cardiac arrest after working out in his in-house gym in Mumbai, while in Jaipur a young aspiring model died while working out at the treadmill at a gym.

Mumbai, Nov 5 : Ahead of the release of his new film "3 Idiots", Bollywood actor Aamir Khan Thursday drew a distinction between the term "idiots" and "stupid", saying that "idiots are very normal persons" who at some point prove themselves in an "unconventional way".

At an event in a city hotel to promote the first song of Rajkumar Hirani's "3 idiots", Aamir said: "Idiots are thought to be very normal persons but at some point of time they prove themselves to be someone with extra calibre. They are not stupid, rather they come to limelight in an unconventional way."

While Aamir Khan is an extremely talented actor but he was faced by a challenge when he had to ‘look’ like he was in his 20s for his role in 3 Idiots. He had to work hard on looking, behaving and dressing like youngsters these days do. His inspirations were mostly his son Junaid’s friends.

His character in the film, Rancho, is apparently based on his cousin Pablo, who is Mansoor Khan’s teenaged son. Aamir likes the way Pablo is so fidgety that he can’t stay still for a minute. He doesn’t stop to even talk.

Aamir Khan will be playing a ventriloquist in an upcoming advertisement. However, well-known ventriloquist Ramdas Padhye will actually be operating the puppet.

Padhye was shocked to see Aamir’s reaction on meeting him. Aamir said, “It’s lovely meeting you again” even though it was the first time they were meeting. He later found out that Aamir used to watch his show on Doordarshan, Meri Bhi Suno, regularly. Aamir couldn’t remember the puppet’s name but was very excited when Padhye brought it along with him one day and kept staring at it excitedly.

Aamir Khan had an embarrassing situation yesterday. He needed to use a bathroom urgently and had to rush past journalists who were waiting him at a press conference.

Aamir was stuck in the traffic for two and a half hours and was desperately looking for a bathroom. By the time he reached the five star hotel, he was almost pushing past the media and pleaded that he needed to use the bathroom.

We can’t help but feel a little bad for Aamir now.

Aamir Khan is being given a run for his money for the title of Mr. Perfectionist by south sensation Surya as he takes his Hindi lessons way too seriously. Honing his Hindi vocabulary, Surya is learning the perfect pitch to deliver his dialogues for the Ram Gopal Varma political thriller Rakht Charitra.

Apparently so serious is Surya to make a perfect Bollywood debut, that he has gone ahead and hired a tutor to improve his diction in Hindi. RGV must be so proud of him.

Apart from Surya, actor Vivek Oberoi is also to be seen in this flick in the role of gangster Paritala Ravi. Rakht Charitra is expected to go on floors from February 2010.

The box-office is in for a Rs 400 crore party. And that too hosted by the big daddies of Bollywood.

Moitra and Kirkire are touched by the actor's gesture to call their parents instead of a Bollywood biggie to launch the music.

New Delhi, Nov 25 : He might be a superstar today, but Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has no qualms in admitting that he has undergone various punishments during his education days - from getting caned to kneeling down for the whole day.

"When in school, kneeling down in front of the principal's office was a regular feature. I have also been caned a couple of times. It is strange that when you get caned, you don't realise the pain instantly, but after two seconds it shoots so badly... It's awful," Aamir told reporters here.

Mumbai, Nov 27 : Aamir Khan, who is currently busy promoting "3 Idiots", has decided not to take any new acting assignments in 2010 because he wants to concentrate on his three home productions.

"Aamir had earlier decided to take one year off. But now he has decided to extend his sabbatical by one more year. Filmmakers who have approached him with projects have been told that Aamir intends to take approximately one more year to supervise the post-production and final look of his three films," said a source close to the actor.

The perfectionist in Aamir Khan has yet again proved the credentials of his title. He doesn’t seem to be pleased with the current technology to handle the traffic in the chat rooms. So, he has decided to design a chat room his way. But what is the reason for this disappointment?

Aamir recently conducted a fans chat on the occasion of music launch of 3 Idiots on the Internet and during the chat he discovered something, which compounded the reason for his misery.

Aamir Khan and Salman Khan are spending a lot of time together these days. And Aamir has admitted to his friendship with Salman saying that they spend time together whenever they can.

Kareena Kapoor plays a very strong role in ‘3 idiots’. As she puts it succinctly, it is dynamically different from what she had played in ‘Kurbaan’.

Loosely based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestselling title ‘Five Point Someone,’ the Rajkumar Hirani-directed ‘3 Idiots,’ though essentially a comedy genre film, is a fairly serious take on a cruel examination system that sadly forms the basis of the Indian education system.

An out-and-out Bollywood flick, 3 Idiots has a marked universal appeal – moving from the confines of an engineering college campus and targeting an audience that is well past the youth age.

New Delhi, Dec 28 : Once again Aamir Khan has hit the jackpot. His comedy-drama "3 Idiots" has scorched screens worldwide and raked in around Rs. 93 crore
