Aamir Khan relocates to Chennai to spend time with his ailing mother

Aamir Khan is quite close to his mother. In a recent interview, the actor shared that he decided to take a break from his career for his ageing mother and his three children, Junaid, Ira and Azad.

He said at an event in Mumbai, “When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions. It’s a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it’s a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break and be with my family, my mom, and my kids.”

Aamir told News18 that it was during the coronavirus pandemic that he realised what he had missed when he was engrossed in his work. “I was venting my anger on cinema because I thought this is what has pulled me away from my family. So, I was needlessly venting anger on cinema and myself. I told everyone at home, ‘Abhi mera kaam ho gaya, ab main aapke saath time bitaunga (I am done with my work. Now I want to spend my time with you),’” Aamir said.

Meanwhile, the actor recently announced his next film, Sitaare Zameen Par, which will also star Genealia D’Souza.
