Aamir Khan loves surprising his audience. Films like Lagaan and Taare Zameen Par cemented his reputation as an innovative actor-director who isn’t afraid to take risks. “When you come up with something new, it usually means you have to take a lot of risks,” says Aamir. “You have to convince people that what you are doing will work with (the audience). So, being innovative requires a lot of strength and courage — but I think a lot of us have it.”

Of late, the actor has been surprising fans off screen as well. Previously, he would stay away from award functions; these days, however, he is often seen at non-Bollywood award ceremonies. At one such function, he was asked when he would unleash his highly anticipated look — that of a bald man! He merely laughed and said, “I’m going to shave my hair off. That will be my latest innovation.” Guess he has another surprise lined up for us.
