Aamir Khan spoke at length about being privileged and thanked it for where he stands in life today.
Although Aamir Khan is away from social media, the superstar has not been separated from the media. Mr Perfectionist, in a recent interview, spoke at length about being privileged. The video shared by Aamir's fan club on YouTube has the actor speaking about what holds him back and what drives him the most. He also credited his mother who brought him well.
Aamir stated, "For me, it is a journey, I am not sure if I’ll be successful, I am not sure I’ll reach my destination, sometimes I am not even sure what my destination is. I am always figuring out where to go, but the important thing is that I do it out of love. There are some primary emotions that all of us have, love and fear are two such primary emotions that we have when we enter this world. You’re born out of love. I’d like to tap into love as my primary emotion and use fear to propel me."
The Dangal star also shared about how he pushed himself ahead knowing that he is privileged. Khan said, "There have been times when I have been down in the dumps, I’ve had my back against the wall and haven’t been sure how to get out of it, at such times, what is important for me is to not lose hope because when you lose hope, you lose all. I hesitate to say this as it is very easy for me because I happen to be in a privileged position. It is not that easy for someone who is not in a privileged position and has got their back against the wall."
Aamir added, "It was a stroke of luck that I was born in Mumbai in a privileged environment, where my parents could afford an education for me and I had a sheltered childhood. If I was born in a village where I didn’t have resources, I’d be sitting there. I remark often that there is no difference between me and that gentleman sitting outside a temple in a village. It was just a matter of chance that he was born there and I was born here. Our rights are the same, our responsibilities too are the same, we ideally should look at each other as one."
On talking about what keeps him grounded, the actor concluded by saying, "The credit should go to my mother, she has brought me up really well. Whatever I am today, whatever good that you see in me is because of the big influence that my mother has been on me. She is someone who is a big force in my life and continues to be so."
