“My kids and Kiran ji explained to me I am doing the wrong thing. Kiran got rather emotional and said films reside inside me. So, a lot happened in two years, I quit the industry and came back,” he said. Khan also added that the last two years were indeed difficult for him.

On the professional front, Aamir Khan is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha. Directed by Advait Chandan, the movie stars Kareena Kapoor Khan in the female lead and is scheduled to release in theatres on August 11.
