In 1988 he got his first leading role in ''Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'' which was a huge success and launched his career.[5] He went on to appear in many other films in the 1990s, which did poorly at the box office.[6] However, ''Dil'' became the highest grossing films of 1990.[7] Aamir went on to write the screenplay for Mahesh Bhatt's ''Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke'' (1993), in which he also acted. Khan's first and only release in 1996 was Dharmesh Darshan's blockbuster ''Raja Hindustani'' opposite Karisma Kapoor. The film earned him his first Filmfare Best Actor Award after eight previous nominations during the 1980s and 1990s and went on to become one of the highest grossing films of its decade.[8]
This was followed by the semi-hit ''Ishq'' (1997), which became the fourth highest grossing film of that year[9] and the moderately successful ''Ghulam'' (1998), for which he did the playback singing. John Mathew Matthan's moderately successful ''Sarfarosh'' (1999)[10] was Khan's first release in 1999. His role as a dedicated cop fighting border terrorism won him critical acclaim. His negative role in Deepa Mehta's offbeat film ''Earth'' (1999) also won him acclaim.

His second release, the moderately successful ''Dil Chahta Hai'' (2001) also entered into the top five highest grossing films of that year[12] and earned him another nomination for ''Best Actor'' at the Filmfare ceremony.
For the next four years, Khan had no releases, as he put in a lot of time preparing for the role of the real-life martyr Mangal Pandey in his comeback film, '' (2005) Although the film was not as successful as ''Lagaan'', it managed to do moderately well, becoming the third highest grossing film of that year.[13]
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's critically accliamed ''Rang De Basanti'' was Aamir's first release in 2006. His role was well acclaimed,[14] earning him a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance and various nominations for ''Best Actor'' including the Filmfare Awards. The film went on to become one of the highest grossing films of the year[15] and was selected as India's official entry to the Oscars Although the film was not shortlisted as a nominee, it won a nomination for Best Foreign Film at the BAFTA Awards in England. His performance in his next release, ''Fanaa'' (2006) was also acclaimed[16] and the film went on to become one of the highest grossing films of 2006.[17]
Family life
He fell in love with Reena Dutta (a Hindu). As Muslims, his parents did not approve of her. As soon as he turned 21, he proposed to her. She accepted and their marriage stayed a secret for a while.
Reena Dutta made a brief appearance in a song sequence in Khan's first film, though not a professional actress and already married to him at that time. It was big news when the marriage was first revealed. Reena Dutta maintained a very low profile and continued her job working in a travel agency.
However, Aamir's popularity survived the revelation, and his marriage to Reena seemed to have survived too. They had two children (son Junaid and daughter Aira) and led a quiet, publicity-shunning family life. Reena was even involved, briefly, in Aamir's career when she worked as a producer for ''Lagaan''. Then in December 2002, Aamir filed for divorce. Reena took custody of the children. On December 28, 2005, Aamir married again, to Kiran Rao, who had been an assistant to director Ashutosh Gowariker during the filming of ''Lagaan''.[18]
