Aamir as Kanhaiyalal

"Mr Perfectionist" of Bollywood, Aamir Khan made his debut from the film Holi in 1984. However, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak gave him a chance to explore his acting skills. Since then he has delivered many super hit films like Dil Chahta Hai, Ghajini, 3 Idiots, Talaash, Dhoom 3, PK, Dangal and many more. But do you know that he is also known as Kanhaiyalal off-screen? Reportedly, the reason behind his nickname was because as a child he used to play and be surrounded by girls most of the time.

In an interview with another entertainment portal, it was revealed that during his childhood days, he was always surrounded by girls even from his school days. So, his parents decided to give him a name Kanhaiyalal. After his debut in the Bollywood industry, his charm attracted many girls and his nickname was recalled many-a-times.
