Aamir Khan: India's Oscar Man

There is a saying 'history repeats itself' and for Aamir Khan history has indeed repeated itself. In 2002 his first home production Lagaan was nominated for the 74th Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category before loosing out narrowly to No Man's Land.

Saif Ali Khan is the latest to join the club and will be seen in a turban in his home production directed by Imtiaz Ali.

The substantial presence of the Punjabis across the globe is another factor contributing to this. रीड मोरे
