Aamir Khan Says He Is Taking A Break From Acting To Focus On Family

The failure of Laal Singh Chaddha was perhaps one of the biggest career setbacks for Aamir Khan.

The actor had been working on the project for over 4 years, and it was already being cited as one of his most ambitious offerings ever. The actor had apparently also invested a lot of time and money into the film, which was an official adaptation of the Oscar winning Hollywood classic – Forrest Gump.



But things didn’t go as planned for the 57 year old, as he faced a total boycott from a majority of audiences – and the film ended up becoming one of the biggest flops of the year, despite a huge budget of 180 crores on it’s shoulders.

Months later, the actor has announced that he plans to take a long break from acting.

During a recent press conference, the star stated that he does have a very interesting script at hand – but he plans to take a break instead, to be with his family.



Here’s what he was quoted as saying:

“When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ called ‘Champions’. It’s a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it’s a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break, be with my family, with my mom, my kids.”

Elaborating his point further, the actor added:

“I feel that it’s not fair to people who are close to me. And it’s not fair to me as well. This is the time I feel I have to take some time off to be with them and actually experience life in a different way. I am looking forward to the next year, a year-and-a-half in which I am not working as an actor.”



He pointed out that it would be the first time ever that he will be taking a break as an actor.
