Bollywood celebrity Aamir Khan, who made his debut over 35 years in the past, lately shared that in the early days of his profession, he struggled with an “inferiority complex” relating to his height. Standing at roughly 5’5, Aamir admitted he feared viewers rejection on account of his shorter stature in comparison with different main males of his period. However, over time, he realized that such considerations had been insignificant.
Aamir spoke candidly throughout a dialog with veteran actor Nana Patekar. Addressing the query, Nana requested, “Did you ever have any inferiority complex about your height?” Aamir responded, “Yes, I did. I used to feel that what if people don’t accept me because of my height. This was my fear. But later I realized that all of this does not matter at all. But at that time, some kind of insecurity creeps in.”
Nana, recognized for his unfiltered remarks, reassured Aamir, saying, “You have a nice face. Look at my face. With this face, I could work for 50 years.” Aamir laughed and mirrored on how his perspective modified as he matured in the trade. “The things that stress us out in the beginning, we later realize that these things don’t matter at all. What is important is how honestly you are working and how your work can enchant people, and after that everything else is unimportant,” he added.
This is not the primary time Aamir has spoken about his height insecurities. During the 2012 promotions for Talaash, he revealed, “Mere zehan mein tha, mujhe darr tha log bwanige bada tingu hai, so yeh darr tha par logon ko pasand aaya (This was on my mind. I was scared people will say he is so short but people liked me).”
Over the years, Aamir Khan has constantly confirmed that expertise and dedication matter greater than bodily attributes. The actor, who has delivered quite a few blockbuster performances, is about to return to the massive display with Sitaare Zameen Par.
