Aamir Khan turns 51
Aamir, the son of late Bollywood film producer Tahir Hussain and wife Zeenat Hussain, started his Bollywood journey with the low-budget experimental film Holi.

With a string of successful movies like Lagaan, Mangal Pandey and Rang De Basanti, he had an unprecedented success and since then the actor follows the 'one movie a year' policy.
His recent film PK broke most Bollywood records and was hailed as one of the best movies of the year 2015.
