Aamir Khan, an Indian superstar, has made the decision to stop acting.
Aamir spoke about his profession and announced he would take a year and a half off from acting on Monday at a gathering in Delhi.
Several images and videos of the occasion went viral. Aamir said that he was going to star in a movie called Champions in one of the video.
He would now be involved in the film’s production rather than acting in it.
“When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in it that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions.”
“It’s a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it’s a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break, be with my family, with my mom, my kids.”
Aamir emphasised that this is perhaps the first break he is taking from acting in his 35-year-career.
“I feel I have been working for 35 years and I have single-mindedly been focused on my work. I feel that it’s not fair to people who are close to me.”
“This is the time I feel I have to take some time off to be with them, and actually experience life in a different way. I am looking forward to the next year, year-and-a-half in which I am not working as an actor,” he added.
Aamir’s admission that he is taking a break from acting comes months after his box office failure with “Laal Singh Chaddha.”
