Aamir Khan is quite upset about his personal life

Aamir Khan is quite upset about his personal life, after his brother Faisal Khan and father Tahir Husain spoke poorly of him in print. Aamir maintained that his brother was mentally unstable, lost his custody to his father. He and his family have issued an official statement to the press - "Aamir has supported both his father and brother in every way possible for the last 15 years. Unfortunately, his goodness has only earned him their envy and hatred. Faisal is unwell and is in need of urgent medical attention. Aamir's attempt to take custody of Faisal was so that he could help him and take care of him. Tahir Husain should now take complete responsibility for Faisal's care and actions."

lot of rage, a bit of Rang de

It opened as just another Bollywood movie at the box-office, on a nippy February morning. The Aamir Khan tag brought limelight in its wake, and the youth flavour that the promos peddled guaranteed initials.
Almost 10 months later, Rang De Basanti is more than a superhit Hindi film gunning for Oscar glory. In an era when films had stopped making a difference, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s feature ended up as a generation’s wake-up call — quite simply living up to the poster punchline.
Bollywood is about big budget, bigger moneymaking drills. But when a script like Rang De… connects with its core audience (in this case, the youth), inciting them take to the streets for a cause that isn’t solely about selfish gains, you know it’s special.
