Actor opens up about Oscars, overconfidence, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ missteps and why he didn’t cast his own son<\/p>\n
In a reflective conversation on Duologue with Barun Das<\/em>, actor Aamir Khan offered a measured take on success, failure, and the evolving rules of filmmaking in a globalised, digitally distracted world. At the heart of his remarks was a consistent idea: cinema, no matter how it is packaged or promoted, ultimately belongs to the audience.<\/p>\n Khan addressed the long-standing fixation with the Oscars, pushing back<\/a> against the idea that the award defines cinematic excellence. While he expressed respect for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, he framed the Oscars primarily as a marketing vehicle, one that helps films travel beyond borders and reach viewers who may otherwise never encounter them. For him, recognition from audiences carries far more weight than international trophies, he said.<\/p>\n
