Aamir Khan Reflects on Early Career Struggles After Breakthrough SuccessPreviousNext

Aamir Khan reflected on his early career challenges after his 1988 debut in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, which made him an overnight star. Despite the film's success, subsequent movies like Love Love Love and Raakh failed, leading to industry doubts and the 'one-film wonder' label. He recalled feeling discouraged but eventually revived his career with the 1990 hit Dil. Aamir also noted that actors in the late 1980s often worked on many films simultaneously, influencing his early project choices.
