How does Aamir Khan still look so young?

How does Aamir Khan still continue to look so young at 53? Well, this is the first question that arises in everyone's mind anytime any new pic of Aamir comes up. How does he still continue to maintain the boyish charm that he eluded when he first broke into our hearts with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. How does he still continue to run away from age? The answer to these questions could be many, ranging from physical attributes to the attributes of the mind. Let us take a look.

This was the Aamir Khan in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The boyish charm, the quint in his eyes that could create a flutter in the hearts of many a girl. It was his debut and as years passed by, and the actor in Aamir Khan began taking over the star in Aamir Khan, Aamir Khan had to don various roles, he had to go through many physical transformations of the body, Aamir Khan had to put on weight, lose weight, build his body. Yet, he did this with elan and still continued to look young and age was just a spectator for him.

Here is his look through the 90s when he began to do diverse roles , even did tough roles in movies like Baazi, Sarfarosh, Ghulam etc. Surprisingly, nothing deterred him from looking young.

This is the Aamir Khan from Sarfarosh, the no nonsense cop ACP Rathod. He looked tough, he looked like a cop, yet he didn't lose the charm and looked amazingly young.


Similar with Ghulam and Rangeela, where he donned the role of a tapori. Tapori is a character usually we associated having a murky look, shabby clothing and roadside swag, Aamir Khan immersed himself into the character of tapori in both the movies. Yet, Aamir Khan looked delightful in the looks and hardly lost the charm on the face.

Time continued to pass, however this man never ceased to age. He continued to do diverse roles, do tougher roles. Aamir Khan, with Ghajini developed the body of a man who seems to have been working all his life in the Gym, the ripped muscles, the bulging biceps. Anyone who does such vigorous body workouts, tend to lose some of their facial charm. Not with Aamir. He once again captured everything perfectly , yet continued to look young and charm us.

After Ghajini, he again completely lost his body weight for 3 idiots and looked really like a college boy. In fact, he looked much younger than the actors Sharman Joshi and Madhavan, who in real life are much younger than him. Nobody could have played the college boy and look convincing.

He once again put on weight for PK and Dhoom3. Hell, again he looked smashing, he again looked a million dollars. He again looked Young!

He broke all rules of commercial cinema with Dangal and put on the weight of nearly 90kgs for Dangal. He had to look old as the role demand, put on weight and then also lose weight during the process of the movie. There have been many videos released which show his Fat to Fit transformation. It required rigorous discipline of diet, painful workouts and of course the most important thing, the will to do it. Aamir Khan did it and when he turned fit again, he still looked young. He came back to his original avatar of the Khan we know, who never ages.

His new movie release is around the corner, Thugs of Hindostan. The trailer and his posters have once again stunned everyone as to how Aamir Khan can still continue to look young. Continue to defy age. His posters and his ads also seem to be putting everyone into a surprise. Does this man ever age?

Many studies have revealed that constant body transformations can result in damaging the face or bring in much stress on the face like wrinkles due to the abnormal changes in diet and habits of livelihood. Aamir Khan has undergone the most number of transformations in his career and yet beaten this study. You could have looked at many body-builders in their prime and then they tend to age quickly. The body metabolism changes and results in ageing. Aamir might jump into any transformation, yet never loses his young look on the face and that boyish charm. Science, as they say, sometimes does not have an answer to everything as nature. 

When asked about the secret of his young looks, Aamir Khan candidly replied "I just am content with life and happy with how it it. I guess that is the secret". The answer looks very simple on its surface, however its a very layered and deep thought. Director Ashutosh Gowarikar in his interview had once replied "Aamir Khan is very content as a person unlike other stars. He is not worried about earning more money, building more bungalows etc."

I guess the answer lies in Aamir Khan being content with his life, however he is never content with his chase for excellence. What you are inside, shows on your face. Aamir Khan is most content about his commerce, never content with the responsibilities as a human. Aamir Khan does not have any property outside India. He leads a simple life, he derives happiness through simple things in life. He likes to give whatever he has through life back to life through his movies and social work. And yes, Life seems to be giving back to Aamir his age. Age seems to be telling to Aamir, you carry on, I will stand by!!
