The Man, the Myth, the Legend - He is hailed as the “perfectionist” of Hindi Film Industry. But in his own words, "Mai Magic dhundhta hu, Magic". This young, shy kid, who started out as a backstage artist and then an extra pursuing theater during his college days, continues creating films that leave legacies behind.

A Tennis Champion and once ranking Maharashtra No.1, how he stumbled upon acting and filmmaking is no less than a love story. Aamir Khan being his utmost vulnerable and unfiltered in this interview, sheds lights on his rollercoaster of a childhood, the memories of his late father and the undying love for good stories.

Money and fame seem to act as no catalyst for him in this cut-throat of a business as he shared with us his 3 principles behind the selection of all his scripts for the last 3 decades.

From being shouted at "Get Out!" to single handedly being a flagbearer of quality cinematic expression in India and worldwide, he compromises at no cost at all for his dream and love for the world of movies.

Let’s know the perfect journey of a man who simply listened to his heart and was never afraid to say a ‘NO’ even at his lowest. His journey is surely ‘Qayamat se Qayamat Tak’ who taught us to embrace ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ while effortlessly keeping it ‘Rangeela’. Let’s know the human, inside who lives a thousand characters.

“How The Hell Did I Do It?” is a Humans of Bombay Original – a talk show where we speak with the dreamers, the pioneers, the go-getters and the never-say-no’ers from all walks of life. We discuss their journeys – the highs, the lows and everything in between. And through our candid conversations, we try to decode the human behind the name, and get pretty close to figuring out – How The Hell Did They Do It?
