Aamir Khan, known as Bollywood's 'Mr Perfectionist', recently shared insights into his early career decisions during a conversation with comedian Zakir Khan. He revealed that he accepted two films, 'Awwal Number' and 'Tum Mere Ho', without reading the scripts, primarily due to pressure from his father, filmmaker Tahir Hussain. Aamir expressed that his typical approach to film selection is emotionally driven; he prefers stories that resonate with him. He recounted how his father insisted he agree to 'Awwal Number' after informing him that Dev Anand wanted to meet him, leaving Aamir feeling scared and obliged. Similarly, for 'Tum Mere Ho', Aamir attempted to inquire about the script but was met with a lengthy lecture from his father about their experience in filmmaking. Aamir humorously noted that while he is not particularly fond of 'Awwal Number', the film has an admirer in fellow actor Ranbir Kapoor, who passionately discussed its scenes and dialogues with him. Reflecting on his career, Aamir highlighted that, aside from these two films, he usually trusts his instincts, citing 'Taare Zameen Par' as a project that faced skepticism but ultimately became one of his most acclaimed works.
