Reflects on his initial mistakes

 

“Earlier in my career, I’ve done songs like Khambe Jaisi Khadi Hai, Ladki Hai Ya Chhadi Hai. Now, that’s objectifying women. Today, I probably wouldn’t do such a song.”

 

While remembering his initial days in the industry, Mr. Khan, didn’t understand sensuality and objectification of women that well. He remarked that he just liked the song and did it. He didn’t think much. “But it’s a process.” As he got mature, he started to understand the impact his work can have on people.

Reflecting on his mistakes, he also remarked upon having done many responsible roles as well. Like in Sarfarosh in 2000. 

In Aamir Khan’s career, we do see him playing many characters that have social responsibility. For example, his character in Taare Zameen Par, talked about being fai to children suffering from dyslexia. 

Cinema is powerful, can be noted while he talked about the impact of his movies. It can influence thought and culture. Through his evolving choices, Aamir Khan continues to set an example, prioritizing meaningful storytelling over fleeting trends.
