Rangeela also marked the beginning of Aamir khan's differences with popular entertainment awards in India. Aamir khan was nominated for the filmfare awards for his performance in Rangeela for the year and rightly so. Aamir khan and majority of the public believed Aamir khan should have won for his brilliant performance in Rangeela. When Aamir khan was deprived of his well deserved award, Aamir khan made a very conscious decision to avoid all future award ceremonies. He believes that entertainment award ceremonies are usually fake and do not recognize true talent. It is more of a song and dance festival and hardly believes in the recognition of true talent of an artist. He has maintained his stand till this day. When the whole of Bollywood is attending the award ceremonies, Aamir khan had the guts to stand on his decision. Many would argue that the same Aamir Khan went out of his way promoting Lagaan at the oscars, however it is a different aspect altogether. Lagaan was selected as the entry from Indian films and any movie that gets selected from the list of foreign films is also a matter of huge respect for the nation. Lagaan was only the third film after Mother India, Salaam Bombay to have achieved the feat. Also, the academy awards are highly respected all across the world. Many of Aamir khan's fans including yours truly believes that Aamir khan did the right thing in distancing himself from the awards.
Aamir Khan won the best debut award for his very first lead movie "Qayamat Se Qayamat tak" at the Filmfare awards.He did receive many other awards at the entertainment awards of Bollywood and also National award. However, as Aamir Khan himself does not believe in awards, we as hardcore fans of his also give little importance to awards.
The biggest award he has achieved is the love and trust that he enjoys amongst his fans across the globe.
