The father of modern Bollywood promotions
Aamir Khan, known as Mr. Perfectionist also perfectioned the art of promoting movies with his novel gimmicks. Before the release of his movie Ghajini, almost 100 employees at Big Cinemas shaved their heads and few got the famous haircut from the actor himself. For 3 Idiots promotion, Aamir went disguised as several characters across the country and several clues were dropped about his location.

In 2012, Aamir Khan forayed into the television show arena with the show called 'Satyamev Jayate'.

Commercial star with an artsy twist
It is common knowledge that Aamir Khan is one of the most commercially successful actors in the Hindi film industry with most of his movies huge hits. However, from the early days of his career, Khan has lent his performance to some notable "off-beat, avant-garde and arty cinema". These include Holi (1984), Deepa Mehta's Earth (1998) and Dhobi Ghat (2011).
Bollywood's first method actor
Aamir Khan was the first actor in Bollywood who consciously decided to do one film at a time (a precedent followed by others) because he believed that an actor needed to start living as the character.
