Aamir Khan isn’t a perfectionist only when it comes to acting. The actor also gives his best when it comes to his on-screen avatars and looks of the characters her plays. He’s surely one of the few born with a Midas touch; whatever he does creates wonders at the box-office. For every movie, his on-screen looks are different. With PK, he again looks different and we are all set to be surprised yet again by Mr. Perfectionist. On that note, take a look at most distinct on screen looks of Aamir Khan…

 

1

PK (2014)
Aamir’s different avatar in PK just keeps you wondering if he is playing a human or an extraterrestrial being. From a well chiselled body to green saucer-eyes that won’t blink to popped up ears and funky colourful clothes, Aamir’s pan chewing character looks every bit from another planet and is making us extremely curious. Can’t wait for the movie now!

2

Talaash: The Answer Lies Within (2012)
Aamir essayed the role of a police officer investigating a mystery death and while doing so he stumbles upon a prostitute who helps him solve the murder mystery. Aamir was seen sporting a moustache and donned the khaki for this staid role. He looked hot.

3

Delhi Belly (2011)
Though Delhi Belly was Aamir’s home production; he did not star in the film. However, his item number as Disco Fighter popped many eyeballs and made us laugh out loud. He looked every bit of a 60s rockstar. Dressed like Elvis Presley with a fake hairy chest, his atypical funny act was not the Aamir Khan you see generally.

4

Ghajini (2008)
Not many actors in the industry could’ve done what Aamir did in Ghajini. He shaved off his head. The cropped haircut with scars became quite a popular fad back in those days. His well pumped body and tattoos made Aamir’s Ghajini look the talk of town.

5

Rang De Basanti (2006)
Aamir plays a young Delhi college graduate in this film. From messy curly locks to tight fitted t-shirts, the actor did complete justice to his character. The movie was a jackpot for Aamir Khan as it bagged all the major awards including Filmfare Award for the Best film and Critics Award for Best Actor (Male) that was won by Aamir. The film was also nominated for the Best Film in the Foreign Language Category at the 2007 BAFTA awards.

Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005)
This film took a long time to be made and was sort of comeback for Aamir who was on a hiatus for four years. Aamir put in a lot of effort to portray the role of the iconic freedom fighter, Mangal Pandey. From his long grown hair to the handlebar moustache; everything was genuine. He promoted the film in his Mangal Pandey look. Unfortunately, the film didn’t do well.

7

Fanaa (2006)
Aamir played a young Casanova tour guide in Fanaa with medium short hair and long side locks who was always seen sporting muffler wrapped around his neck and a few wristbands and bracelets. The movie was quiet twisted as Aamir played both the charming tour guide as well as a terrorist in disguise. His performance and on screen chemistry with Kajol was highly appreciated.

Dil Chahta Hai (2001)
2001 was a bonanza for Aamir as he had two big releases. In Dil Chahta Hai he played a graduated college kid with a prominent soul patch and well gelled spiked hair. Many youngsters started carrying out the style. In the second half of the film he was seen in smart suits. He rocked both the looks with élan. The movie was very urban lifestyle oriented and it soon gained a cult following.

9

Lagaan (2001)
In Lagaan, Aamir had the rusty, brown complexion of a poor, hardworking peasant. The film is considered to be one of Bollywood’s most iconic films. It was highly praised by critics and became the third Indian film be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

10

Rangeela (1995)
Aamir plays a tapori in the film who also sells movie tickets in black. He was seen in a rugged look sporting a stubble and for most parts he was badly dressed in open shirts and netted vests with a handkerchief tied around his neck. Munna became a hit amongst everyone.
