Bollywood actor Aamir Khan gets emotional at the Singapore International Film Festival, describing how decades of intense work have reduced time with his family. He says the reflection comes during the COVID-19 period, when he realized that over 30 years of nonstop commitments can cost relationships, including watching his children grow into adults.
Khan’s remarks come after he receives the festival’s Screen Icon Award, and the discussion is framed around personal moments and the “weakest” points of his journey. In addition to his comments about family time, he addresses projects mentioned in connection with him, including updates that a sequel to “3 Idiots” is being worked on with director Rajkumar Hirani. Coverage across outlets largely centers on his onstage emotional response and the themes of sacrifice, regret, and reassessing priorities.
