Why Aamir Khan doesn’t attend Filmfare and other popular awards?

Aamir Khan has openly expressed his hatred towards Film awards and the fact that he does not like to go to Filmfare Awards and other movie awards. However, Aamir Khan has always attended unconventionally popular awards like Mangeshkar Awards and Gollapudi Srinivas Memorial award. He also attended the CNBC Outstanding Business Leader, where he received the award for Entertainment Business Leader. Aamir Khan recently won a Padma Bhushan for his outstanding contribution to Indian cinema.

Why does Aamir not go to Filmfare Awards and other awards? In fact, his aversion is so much that he does not give these award organizations the right to show clips of movies that are produced by him. Aamir had gone to the extent of suing Filmfare Awards for showing him holding the Lady‘ in Black’ trophy, to promote their awards For the past four years, Aamir-mania is rocking Bollywood like never before. In 2006, Aamir Khan gave us the trend setting Rang De Basanti. In 2007, his directional debut Taare Zameen Par was a surprise blockbuster and became nearly everyone’s favorite movie. In 2008, Aamir Khan gave us one of the biggest money-spinners ever in the form of Ghajni. Ghajini’s record was better in 2009 by 3 Idiots, which is now, the biggest money-making Bollywood movie ever. Aamir Khan had actually attended Filmfare Awards during his early days. But then, he felt short-changed when he didn’t receive an award for Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar in 1992; the award had gone to Anil Kapoor for Beta. When Shahrukh Khan arrived on the scene, he won the best actor award for Baazigar(1993) and Aamir Khan’s performance in Hain Rahe Pyaar Ke(1933) didn’t win him an award.

The toughest competition between Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan was in 1995 when Shahrukh Khan was loved by the nation for Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Aamir Khan’s loveable tapori act in Rangeela was praised to the skies. But that time too, Aamir Khan lost to Shahrukh Khan as DDLJ won him the Best Actor Award After that Aamir Khan decided it was enough and stopped attending Filmfare Awards and other popular movie awards. Though he says, he has nothing against SRK, Aamir is not happy with the way awards are organized and the winner chosen in these functions. When asked about the selection procedure and authenticity of Indian Film awards, Aamir Khan says, “fact is that I have no objections to film awards per se. I just feel that if I don’t value a particular film award, then I won’t attend it either. Apart from the national award, I don’t see any other award ceremony that I should give value to. My personal experience about these award ceremonies is that I don’t trust them. I have no faith in them so I would prefer to stay away.”
