Mumbai:
Aamir Khan is a Holi-boy. He was born on Holi day, but the versatile actor says he was once scared of the festival of colours.
"Many are not aware that I was born on the day of Holi -14 March, 1965. Ammi (Mother) had told me that when I was born, the nurse had come and put some colour on my face. But as a child, I was always scared of Holi because of colourful faces and the noise that people make while playing Holi. So I stayed at home," Aamir says.
The 46-year-old actor lost the fear of colours and boisterous celebration once he entered his teens."After I turned 14-15, I was no more scared and started playing Holi. We still celebrate the festival with family and close friends," says Aamir.
Incidentally, one of his first films as a professional actor was titled Holi, which came out in 1984. It was directed by Ketan Mehta.
