Thrown out, let down, heartbroken — Aamir Khan still rose to rule Bollywood

Aamir Khan wasn’t a high achiever in school. He struggled with studies and eventually dropped out after finishing 12th grade at Narsee Monjee College. Unlike his peers, he didn’t pursue a conventional academic or professional path. Instead, he followed his passion for cinema and storytelling. This bold choice, made at a young age, laid the foundation for his unorthodox but highly successful career in the film industry.
