What made Aamir Khan say no to award functions?

Finally! Stopped making his presence felt

So, perhaps this is the reason that still today Aamir Khan hasn’t shown up on any film awards the one’s he didn’t find credible.

Gave the function a miss

Finally, Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist picked up his first Best Actor for ‘Raja Hindustani’ in 1997 but perhaps it was too late as the damage was already done for him. He didn’t attend the ceremony that year and never made it to any future ones as well.

The final blow

Following this, the final blow, sealing his displeasure towards the Bollywood awards came in the year 1996 when one of his best performances as tapori Munna in ‘Rangeela’ was not given the coveted statute. That year Shah Rukh Khan had picked up the trophy for his film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’.

The first blow

After this successful win, Aamir was perhaps the only actor to hold the record for getting a nomination for the Best Actor category consecutively for 9 years (1989-1997) in Filmfare Awards. Reportedly, the actor was upset losing the award to Anil Kapoor’s performance in ‘Beta’ in the year 1993. The reason for this is he felt that his performance in ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’ was much superior and even his film had picked up the Best Film award that year.

The first awards ceremony

Aamir Khan had first attended the Filmfare Awards ceremony which was held in the year 1989 where he received the Best Debutant award for ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’. Though he was nominated for Best Actor as well, he lost it out to Anil Kapoor’s performance in ‘Tezaab’.
