Born Aamir Hussain Khan, he has spent more than three decades building a body of work that includes some of the highest-grossing Bollywood films in history, while simultaneously developing a reputation as a filmmaker, producer, and television personality willing to take on socially significant projects.
Updated March 2026: According to The Indian Express, Khan commands a per-film fee ranging from Rs 100 crore to Rs 275 crore ($12–33 million), placing his estimated net worth at approximately Rs 1,862 crore ($205 million).
Aamir Hussain Khan was born on March 14, 1965, in Mumbai (then Bombay), India, into a film family. His father, Tahir Hussain, was a film producer, and his uncle Nasir Hussain was a prominent director. Khan first appeared on screen as a child actor in his uncle’s film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973). He attended Bombay Scottish School and later St. Anne’s High School in Bandra, before enrolling at Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics. He was a state-level tennis champion during his school years. His formal adult acting career began with a supporting role in Holi (1984), followed by his breakthrough lead role in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), which he co-produced with his father at the age of 23.
Khan established himself as a leading actor during the 1990s through commercially successful films including Dil (1990), Rangeela (1995), and Raja Hindustani (1996), for which he won his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor. His role in Sarfarosh (1999) is widely regarded as one of the finest performances of that decade. In 1999, he founded Aamir Khan Productions, whose debut production Lagaan (2001) was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film — only the third Indian film to receive that distinction. Lagaan also earned him a National Film Award for Best Popular Film. His production Dil Chahta Hai (2001) is credited with redefining the urban youth genre in Bollywood.
After a four-year hiatus from acting, Khan returned with Rang De Basanti (2006) and made his directorial debut with Taare Zameen Par (2007), which won Filmfare Awards for Best Film and Best Director and brought international attention to learning disabilities. His record-breaking commercial run followed: Ghajini (2008) became the first Bollywood film to gross over Rs 100 crore domestically; 3 Idiots (2009) surpassed that to become the highest-grossing Indian film of its time; Dhoom 3 (2013), PK (2014), and Dangal (2016) each broke the previous record. Dangal, based on wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, earned over Rs 2,000 crore worldwide, including a massive Rs 1,300 crore run in China, where it remains one of the highest-grossing foreign films ever released. Khan hosted the social issues television program Satyamev Jayate from 2012 to 2014, waiving advertising income during its broadcast. His most recent major release, Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), underperformed commercially despite positive reviews in some quarters. He is set to return to theaters with Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par.
Khan was first married to Reena Dutta in 1986; the couple divorced in 2002 and have two children together, Junaid Khan (born 1987) and Ira Khan (born 1997). In December 2005, he married filmmaker Kiran Rao, with whom he has a son, Azad Rao Khan (born 2011). Khan and Kiran Rao announced their separation in July 2021, while pledging to continue co-parenting Azad. Khan resides primarily in Mumbai, where he is also known for his philanthropic work. He was honoured by the Government of India with the Padma Shri in 2003 and the Padma Bhushan in 2010, and received an honorary title from the Government of China in 2017 in recognition of Dangal‘s cultural impact there.
Aamir Khan’s net worth is estimated at $205 million (approximately Rs 1,862 crore). His wealth derives primarily from his profit-sharing model on blockbuster films, his production company Aamir Khan Productions, and brand endorsement deals.
Rather than charging an upfront salary, Khan has taken profit-sharing stakes in his films for more than two decades. For Dangal, he held a 33% profit participation that translated into an estimated Rs 275 crore ($33 million) once the film’s extraordinary worldwide gross — including over Rs 1,300 crore from China alone — was factored in, according to industry reporting by The Siasat Daily and Forbes.
Aamir Khan has three children: Junaid Khan (born 1987) and Ira Khan (born 1997), from his first marriage to Reena Dutta; and Azad Rao Khan (born 2011), from his marriage to Kiran Rao. Junaid Khan has followed his father into acting, while Ira Khan works as a theater director.
Aamir Khan was born on March 14, 1965, in Mumbai, India. As of March 2026, he turns 61 years old today — March 14, 2026 is his birthday. He has been active in Bollywood since the 1980s and is widely regarded as one of India’s greatest filmmakers and actors.
Aamir Khan stands 5 feet 4 inches tall (163 cm). Despite being shorter than many of his peers, his intense dedication to his craft — including dramatic physical transformations for roles — has made him one of Bollywood’s most respected method actors, earning him the nickname “Mr. Perfectionist.”
Aamir Khan is currently in a relationship with Gauri Spratt, a Bengaluru-based entrepreneur and a close friend of 25 years, whose relationship was confirmed publicly in 2025. He was previously married twice: to Reena Dutta (1986–2002), with whom he has two children Junaid and Ira, and to filmmaker Kiran Rao (2005–2021), with whom he has son Azad. Despite his divorce from Kiran Rao, the two maintain a close co-parenting relationship.
Aamir Khan lives in Pali Hill, Bandra, Mumbai, India, one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the city, popular with Bollywood stars. His primary residential property is estimated to be worth approximately ₹60 crore (about $7.2 million USD). His ancestral family property, the Virgo Co-op Society building, underwent redevelopment, during which he rented a separate residence in the area.
Aamir Khan commands some of the highest per-film fees in Bollywood, reportedly earning between ₹100–275 crore per film. His 2016 blockbuster Dangal grossed over $300 million worldwide, earning him an estimated $42 million from the production.
