Keep going even after facing failure: Aamir Khan

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who felicitated GQ’s 50 Most Influential Young Indians at an event here last week, says his advice to youngsters is that they must “keep going even when your chips are down”.

“One advice that I would want to share with these young achievers is that when you are facing failure, one tends to feel like compromising but never do that. Keep going even when your chips are down” Aamir said in a statement.

Aamir was recently in the capital to launch GQ’s latest special edition. Those featured in the list come from a diverse range of backgrounds and professions — from politics to entertainment.

Aamir, who has himself been an achiever as an actor, producer and director, personally met and felicitated each of the achievers this year at the gala event which took place on July 2.

Those to have featured on the list are names like Virat Kohli, Ranveer Singh, Ritesh Agrawal, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Prabhat Choudhary, Navroze Godrej, Umang Bedi, Arijit Bose, Krishna Ram Bhupal and Aditya Ghosh amongst others.

  • Thanks for the article Indicine.
    Yes, he is an inspiration for the youth of the country.
    Even being a superstar, he has always strived for excellence in his profession.
    He could’ve easily done 2 films a year and minted money like other actors do, but no, he does not wish to dissapoint his audience. He wants that audience who pays to watch him, get their moneys worth and take back home something from the film.
    Lagaan – A total sports inspirational movie.
    Rang De Basanti – A patriotic film about how youth can can make a change if they are willing.
    Taare Zameen Par – A special film about special children.
    3 Idiots- Greatest film of the 21st century focusing on the current education system of India.
    PK – a film on religious malpractices.
    Dangal – Women empowerment and female infanticide.
    Peepli Live – Farmer suicides.
    .
    This man is a walking example of determination and hard work.
    I want you guys to see these small videos below of Aamir. Please guys watch!

  • Absolutely true . It is difficult to swim when the tides are high but this gives you an opportunity to reach the shore . Aamir started with a bang in 1988 with QSQT and then he made some poor choices and than he changed his working style and the result is for everyone to see . People may call him Selfish, Hypocrite or Jealous but nobody can deny the fact he has worked really hard in the last 28 years and he has made some amazing choices . Aamir’s success proves – ‘Choices Makes The Man’ . He is looking like a Scientist in these pictures wearing Suit and Spectacles . !!!!!!!!

  • Looking old..
    Aamir did something very risky
    To gain and loose weight at this age in a short time .
    I hope he gets his look back soon

  • Hello, myself Dr. Mashoor Gulati. I am a fan of this site and I approve what Aamir said. Yes, keep going even after facing failure and don’t give up. Even I became a doctor after many failures.

  • He is looking so young and dashing. Maybe this could be his look for his next film, possibly Rakesh Sharma biopic.
    WAITING FOR DANGAL

  • Keep giving Intolerance Disaster (=Dangal) even after giving so much clearance about remark made by you

    Flop punch or lines

  • Aamir Khan is the greatest actor ever in the Indian film industry! I haven’t seen a more dedicated and hardworking actor than him! He’s one of the most intelligent person you’ll ever come across! I have immense respect for him due to his superb choice of movies and also due to his enormous contribution towards the society! It’s very shameful if some people are criticizing him on the intolerance issue without even going through the interview properly coz he didn’t say anything wrong or illogical! Good luck Aamir for ur upcoming movie Dangal! It will surely break all the Box office records!

  • Am i the only one who thinks that he is looking like a gay in the above pics.
    #perFAKEtionist Khan

  • @indicine, half the year has past already, plz post an article about the new slate of upcoming movies of each actor, what u expect from them and who is involved. ..

  • Stop highlighting failures only for aamir. Isn’t srk also having failures recently? Didn’t salman face failures in 2000s? Didn’t akshay face failures in most of his career except for 2007? Didn’t ajay also face failures? Didn’t hrithik face failures after his debut? Didn’t Mr. Bachchan face failures in 1990s? So? Everyone faces failures. It’s part of a life. Look at the current status of aamir. He is most successful and Biggest star in india and abroad. That’s all matters most.

  • By the way don’t take my comment wrong because I was not bashing anyone but just saying that failures come to everyone but it’s all about rising back on.

  • Better give the advice… How to cheat the wife. How to be get close Assistant Director.
    How to break 15 long years relationship n give divorce.
    Youths of India… Stay away from him.
    He is such looser in reel as well in real life.

  • HE was one of the best actor of Bollywood he is & he will be
    He faced failure bcoz he experimented his roles otherwise which Actor can do a niche movie ‘RAAKH’after Superhit QSQT
    TZP after Superhit FANAA & TALASH after ATBB 3 IDIOTS??
    All brilliant Actors failed before becoming super successful bcoz they tried something different
    Eg. AMITABH SIR,AAMIR,HRITHIK & Now RANBIR.

  • Sultan has smashed all kind of advance booking records at major multiplexes in India. More than 400,000 tickets have been sold at PVR Cinemas, INOX and Cinepolis which is an all-time record. The number is unbelievable, to say the least.
    Many theaters are playing Sultan in as many as 55 shows which is another record. Such craze has never been seen before for any Bollywood film. As by going by the trade experts, Sultan is all set to cross 40 crore on its opening day. Many are even predicting the film to shatter Happy New Year and Baahubali opening records.
