Aamir Khan is celebrated for his dedication to the craft of acting and his humble nature. His co-stars often praise his professionalism and collaborative spirit. Recently, veteran actor Akhilendra Mishra highlighted Aamir’s unique qualities during a conversation with Digital Commentary.
Mishra, who acted with Aamir Khan in Sarfarosh and Lagaan, described him as a perfectionist who values preparation. “Aamir doesn’t rush into takes but focuses on detailed rehearsals, ensuring the best possible outcome,” Mishra shared.
Citing an example from Sarfarosh, Mishra noted Aamir’s willingness to step back in scenes. “If a scene truly belongs to another actor, Aamir gives it away without hesitation. This quality is rare among stars,” he stated.
Sarfarosh was directed by John Matthew Matthan and starred Aamir Khan alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Mukesh Rishi, and Sonali Bendre. The 1999 action-thriller became a massive success, resonating deeply with audiences during a patriotic wave after the Kargil War.

In Lagaan, a 2001 sports period drama directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Aamir Khan played Bhuvan, while Mishra portrayed Arjan. Mishra praised Aamir’s dedication to the film, emphasizing its narrative strength and collaborative energy.
Mishra remarked on Aamir’s rare ability to elevate co-stars, describing it as a defining trait of his professionalism. “This generosity in a star is extraordinary,” he concluded.
