Aamir Khan is one of the most commonly recognised stars in Bollywood. His acting, screen presence and some stellar box office successes have earned him the title of being a 'perfectionist' in Bollywood. During his three-decades-long career, Aamir has portrayed several versatile characters, earning him a massive fan following. However, his immense focus and dedication to his craft negatively impacted the actor's work-life balance. Recently, Aamir Khan shared about how his former wife, Kiran, pointed out that he was often 'mentally absent' in his personal life.
