Aamir Khan Marks 53rd Birthday With First Instagram Post

  • Aamir Khan Marks 53rd Birthday With First Instagram Post

Making a debut on Instagram on Wednesday, Aamir dedicated his first post to his mother. He shared an old picture of his mother Zeenat Hussain over a series of 9 posts - a collage, merging into her image.

 

"The person because of whom I am who I am...," Aamir's caption reads.

 

 

After from Twitter and now Instagram, Aamir Khan has an active Facebook account with 15 million followers. On Twitter, Aamir Khan has 23 million followers, which is way less than that of his contemporaries Shah Rukh Khan (34 million) and Salman Khan (31.9 million).

 

At a media interaction after flying into Mumbai from Jodhpur where he is shooting for Thugs of Hindostan, he said, "One bad habit that I have is that am a very obsessive personality. I think that's a problem." To this, wife Kiran replied, "That's not your habit that's your personality."

 

Kiran believes Aamir’s good qualities outdo his bad ones.

 

“The things I like the most in him are his sensitivity and intelligence for which I married him. The deep understanding that he has of people, his love for people and his sense of caring and empathy, I think those are the qualities that most attracted me to him. Also his incredibly sharp mind and his ability to understand ideas. I really hope he doesn’t change,” she said.

 

Kiran said she was sure that the actor, who was in Jodhpur for the shooting of Thugs of Hindostan, would come home to celebrate his birthday today. “I had this plan to go there (Jodhpur) and surprise him but yesterday he called me and said I will come so I thought at least I would go till the airport to surprise him,” she said. The actor said his son Azad gave him a handmade birthday card and a dart board.

 

Last seen in Secret Superstar, Aamir Khan is currently filming Thugs of Hindostan. The film has an ensemble cast and will unite Amitabh Bachchan with Aamir for the first time on 70mm. The film also casts Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif.
