In the past, love stories were the most popular genre for introducing fresh talent. If you are receiving a launch, it will contain two young children who appear innocent, irate parents (headed by red-faced dads), and a family conflict that will entail large sums of money and gunfire. Ironically for a performer whose entire career has been a sort of revolt against what is called hit formula, Aamir Khan’s debut was true to the script. A whole generation fell in love with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak because, despite its clichéd structure, it had a certain sense of newness that was difficult to put into words. Aamir started off as the “chocolate boy,” but he soon found that wasn’t the only descriptor he desired.
He was given many nicknames over the course of the following 35 years, including Perfectionist Khan, Socially Conscious Star, and Man with a Midas Touch, but none of them stayed. Because that is who Khan is—a man who is constantly reinventing himself and his art, willing to forge new paths and unyielding in his refusal to give up on his aspirations. We honour Aamir Khan’s long and successful career in movies as he completes 35 years in the industry. On this day, QSQT was launched.
