Aamir Khan has revealed in a recent interview that he had quit acting and filmmaking during the lockdown that was enforced in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The actor had informed his family of his decision, saying he wanted to just spend his time with them. Though shocked, his family didn't argue with him. Since he only features in one film every three to four years, he thought he wouldn't be asked about his next project after Laal Singh Chaddha and he'll gradually disappear from the limelight. However, one day, his children asked him to reconsider his decision.
