一 | Aamir Khan's vast filmography mostly comprises films with a moral or a social message. When asked about choosing scripts that resonate on a societal level, Aamir shared that he does not choose films or scripts based on popularity or conventions. The actor emphasised on how important it is for him to admire a script before agreeing to be associated with it. During a conversation at IFFI 2025, Aamir said, "I choose films purely based on my emotional excitement for the story, even if it goes completely against the norm. Most of my decisions have been impractical by industry standards. When we made Lagaan, even Javed Saab advised us not to. By all logic, I shouldn't have become a star, I broke every rule. But somehow, those unconventional choices connected with people and I'm deeply grateful."He further added, "Whether it's Taare Zameen Par, 3 Idiots, Dangal or Laapataa Ladies, the foundation was laid by the writers. They created the worlds and the characters; I simply gravitated towards scripts that moved me.The actor also spoke highly of late star Dharmendra. "Though hailed as the He-Man of Indian cinema, he was equally brilliant in all genres including, romance, comedy and drama, an actor of remarkable range and presence. He was a gentle giant and finest actor. His mastery of language, innate dignity and extraordinary range as an artist made him an institution in himself. His passing is a profound personal and artistic loss," Aamir added. However, when asked if he would don the hat of a director Aamir said that he is delaying the same as he loves acting. "Direction is actually my big love. Filmmaking is what I enjoy the most. I did direct once, but that was more out of a crisis, so it doesn’t really count as a planned move. But the day I consciously decide to take up direction, I’ll probably stop acting, because it will consume me completely. That’s why I’m delaying that decision for now," the star replied.ALSO READ: When Shah Rukh Khan Spoke About Aamir Khan‘s Acting Skills。

二 | On 11 May 1970, Bombay (now Mumbai) saw the stars of Hindi cinema gather to celebrate films from 1969 at the 17th Filmfare Awards. Amongst the biggest winners that night was Aradhana, a romantic drama directed by Shakti Samanta. On Sharmila Tagore's birthday, we look back at the iconic wins of the movie, including Sharmila Tagore's win in the Best Actress category. Aradhana was released on 7 November 1969 in Hindi. It starred Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles. The story mixes romance, sacrifice, identity, and strong emotions. Vandana (Sharmila Tagore) falls in love with Arun (Rajesh Khanna), who is an Air Force pilot. After Arun’s death in a crash, Vandana must face stigma, raise her son against odds, even when forced to give him up. She then becomes his caretaker later in life without revealing she is his mother. Over time, the film shows her silent strength and love. At the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana led the nominations with 9 nods. It won Best Film, and Sharmila Tagore won her first (and only) Best Actress award for her role as Vandana. Meanwhile, Rajesh Khanna was nominated for Best Actor for Aradhana, but the award went to Ashok Kumar for Aashirwad.

Aradhana also gained praise for its music: songs like Mere Sapno Ki Rani became iconic. The film quickly became a blockbuster, not just in India, but also in the Soviet Union. It marked the rise of Rajesh Khanna as a superstar, and it firmly established Sharmila Tagore’s status among leading actresses. Looking back to the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana remains a landmark, not just for awards, but for stories that touch the heart. As Filmfare returns with new celebrations, it’s worth remembering how films like Aradhana shaped the legacy, melding romance, strength, music, and unforgettable performances.
