Aamir Khan was once scared of Holi

“Many are not aware that I was born on the day of Holi — 14 March,1965. Ammi (Mother) had told me that when I was born,the nurse had come and put some colour on my face.

But as a child,I was always scared of Holi,because of colourful faces and the noise that people make while playing Holi. So I stayed at home,” Aamir says.

The 46-year-old actor lost the fear of colours and boisterous celebration once he entered his teens.

“After I turned 14-15,I was no more scared,and started playing Holi. We still celebrate Holi,with family and close friends,” says Aamir.

Incidentally,one of his first films as a professional actor was titled Holi,which came out in 1984. It was directed by Ketan Mehta.
