Aamir Khan, one of Bollywood’s most respected actors, recently made a surprising revelation. At the WAVES Summit 2025 in Mumbai, he shared that his own father, despite being a film producer, did not want him to enter the film industry.
A Tough Start Against Family Wishes
During the event on May 4, 2025, Aamir Khan opened up about his early struggles. His father, Tahir Hussain, was a well-known film producer, and his uncle was a director-producer. Yet, his father did not support his dream of becoming an actor.
Aamir explained that he had to make the decision against his family’s wishes. He said it wasn’t easy, as his father was a very strict and short-tempered man, and they hardly felt comfortable expressing their thoughts to him.
