Talking about Aamir Khan, the actor has kept a low professional profile since the debacle of Laal Singh Chaddha. He hasn't officially announced his upcoming project. However, on a personal level, he is certainly a happy man, as his daughter Ira Khan recently got married. Aamir Khan actively participated in the wedding festivities, whether it was welcoming guests, shedding tears, or dancing to the beats of the DJ.
