Whenever there is a discussion about perfectionism in Bollywood, only one name comes in the minds of people. Yes, you guessed it right!! It’s Amir Khan. Amir Khan strives for perfection. Which can be seen in his movies. This prodigy appears in one movie per year (sometimes even two years!) and despite this, that movie breaks one or the other record in Bollywood. This is one of the reasons why Amir Khan is the best actor in Bollywood. On the occasion of his 53rd birthday, let us have a look at the qualities that make him a perfectionist.
Quality over Quantity
Unlike others, Amir Khan chooses quality films and stories over acting in many films at a time. He makes his appearance in only one movie in a year and makes it blockbuster. He chooses the stories with a social issue instead of action and eye-candy chicks. This is the main thing which keeps the audience bound to his movies because every single movie of Amir gives a practical moral at the end.
Diverse Roles
We have seen Amir in diverse roles in movies. From a college-going lad in 3 Idiots to the on-screen father of young wrestlers in Dangal. From a modern billionaire in Ghajini to an alien in PK! Just name a role and Amir Khan is there to act.
Redefining an Artist
Amir Khan has shown Bollywood that an actor can excel not only in acting but also in other areas such as production and direction. Amir Khan was awarded National Award for his debut movie direction – Taare Zameen Par. He also owns a production house and helps in producing other movies too! This man has literally changed our image of a Bollywood artist.
Taking the Road less traveled
Observing the success ladder in hosting TV shows, all the major Bollywood faces jumped in it. But our perfectionist chose another path and appeared in ‘Satyamev Jayate’. This show succeeded with flying colors and rekindled Amir’s public image! Amir Khan outshines other counterparts with flying colors.
Passionate about Acting
Unlike others in Bollywood who run for the money, Amir Khan makes sure that he acts in masterpieces irrespective of money. Right from the start of his acting career, Amir remained in touch with theatres and critics. Dhobighat and Peepli Live are noticeable works in which we can see his passion towards acting instead of making money from films.
Phenomenal Intellect
Amir is not only one of the best actors of his era, but he is also blessed with phenomenal intellect.
His simplicity can be seen in his words.
“I do what I feel is right. I am not scared to walk on the new path and take the risk.”
"The truth is that no matter how many retakes you do, each will be different and that is the nature of any creative medium. There's no such thing as perfection." His actions and passion are reflected in his words.
These traits of this legendary actor make him successful and Mr. Perfectionist. He’s a blessing to Bollywood.
Happy Birthday, Amir!!
