List of awards and nominations received by Aamir Khan


This is a list of the awards and nominations received by the Indian actor, producer and director Aamir Khan. He has won 9 Filmfare Awards, out of 32 nominations, including the 3 Best Actor award for Raja Hindustani, Lagaan, and Dangal, the Best Actor award for Rang De Basanti, the Best Film award for Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par, and Dangal, and the Best Director award for Taare Zameen Par. He has also won four National Film Awards, as an actor in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Raakh, the producer of Lagaan and Madness in the Desert, and director-producer of Taare Zameen Par.
Overseas, Lagaan earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and won various awards at international film festivals. This made it one of only three Indian films to receive an Oscar nomination, along with Mehboob Khan's Mother India and Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay!. This also makes Aamir Khan one of the few Indian filmmakers to ever receive an Oscar nomination. Two more of his films were India's submissions to the Oscars, Taare Zameen Par and Peepli Live, while Dhobi Ghat was longlisted for the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language, though neither were nominated. In 2017, Dangal won him the inaugural Best Asian Film award at Australia's 7th AACTA Awards, as well as Movie of the Year and Top Foreign Actor from China's Douban Film Awards, and it is an award nominee for the 68th Berlin International Film Festival.
In addition, Khan has received honorary accolades, including the Government of India's Padma Shri in 2003 and Padma Bhushan in 2010, and an Honorary Doctorate by the Maulana Azad National Urdu University for his distinguished contributions to the Indian cinema and entertainment industry. In 2011, he accepted an invitation from the Berlin Film Festival to be a member of the jury, after having previously turned down their offer three times since 2008. In 2017, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invited Khan for membership, and he received an award for "National Treasure of India" from the Government of China.
Despite having won numerous awards and honours, Aamir Khan is known for refusing to attend, or accept awards from, Indian film award ceremonies. This has occasionally led to controversy, notably at the 2017 National Film Awards when the award committee responded by refusing to honour Khan with the Best Actor award for his performance in Dangal.
