Was told that I would not survive much in Bollywood: Aamir

Actor Aamir Khan, who has delivered several hits in his film career like 'Taare Zameen Par', '3 Idiots', says because of his 'one film at a time approach' industry people often told him that his career will be finished soon.
Aamir began as a child actor at the age of eight in Nasir Hussain's 'Yaadon Ki Baaraat' (1973) and 'Madhosh' (1974). Eleven years later, he made his acting debut as an adult in Ketan Mehta's 'Holi' (1984) that went unnoticed.
The actor's first notable leading role came in 1988 in the film 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', which was directed by his cousin and Nasir Hussain's son Mansoor Khan.

The actor has completed 25 years in the film industry and given notable performances in films like 'Dil', 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander', 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke', 'Andaz Apna Apna', 'Rangeela', 'Ghulam', 'Sarfarosh', 'Earth', 'Lagaan', 'Dil Chahta Hai', 'Sarfarosh', 'Rang De Basanti', 'Fanna', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Ghajini', '3 Idiots' and others.
"I am happy and surprised to complete 25 years in the industry. When I was new I was not aware where and how my career will head. I was told an actor's life is of five years as public then gets bored of seeing them," Aamir told reporters here today.

Aamir insists that he chooses a film from his heart and doesn't do it to achieve name, fame, money and doesn't care much about which banner is making the movie.
"My this mantra to do a film has been questioned by many people in the industry. I remember industry people telling me that I would be out of this industry soon due to my one film or less films approach, and that my method was not right. People had lashed out at me and my way of working. But I never got deterred and followed what my heart said," he said.
