MUMBAI: “It’s not ‘whether it will happen’, it’s ‘when it’ll happen’?” says Aamir Khan about losing fame, success and stardom, something which the superstar insists he does not worry about at all.
With consecutive blockbusters and films which changed the grammar of commercial movie-making, Aamir has carved his niche in the industry.

In the last decade itself, the 52-year-old actor has headlined projects which have set global box office records, from “3 Idiots”, “PK”, “Dhoom 3” to “Dangal”.
Aamir, however, feels he can never be bigger than the films he has been a part of.
“Stars are made through films. It isn’t the other way around. I can never claim that a film became a hit because of me. If you look at ‘PK’, ‘Dangal’, ‘3 Idiots’, as a star the maximum I can do is bri
