The superstar’s evolving appearance marks a significant personal and public shift. Aamir Khan has frequently surprised audiences with his dramatic transformations for films, often involving extensive changes to his physique and appearance.

Netizens React to Actor’s New Look
While Aamir Khan’s embrace of his natural grey is a recent observation, his salt-and-pepper looks have been discussed by fans and media for some time. He was seen sporting a similar silver look during the COVID-19 lockdown and prominently at his daughter Ira Khan’s engagement in November 2022. These earlier glimpses of his grey hair had already sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.
Upon his past public appearances with grey hair, netizens often shared mixed sentiments. Some lauded his willingness to embrace his age, calling him a “great man.” Others, however, playfully trolled him, with some even confusing him with industrialist Gautam Singhania(Raymond) due to his salt-and-pepper beard and hair. Comments like “Aamir dadu” and “Aamir sir, itni safedi” frequently popped up online.
