Aamir Ali reflected on his challenging transition from aspiring film actor to television star, admitting that financial struggles forced him to accept low-profile TV roles that left him feeling embarrassed. In an interview with BLive Studio, he recounted how the lack of a mentor led him to work on films that were often never released, dwindling his savings. Despite considering himself a movie star, he ran out of money and agreed to a television project with Balaji, shocking his film industry friends who initially expressed pity over his decision. Aamir revealed he often broke down in public, crying in front of friends like Sohail Khan and Remo D'Souza, as he grappled with the stigma of doing TV. His perspective eventually shifted after receiving encouragement from co-stars, which enabled him to embrace his new career path. On a personal note, Aamir married Sanjeeda Sheikh in 2012, welcomed a daughter via surrogacy in 2018, but they separated by 2020 and finalized their divorce in 2021.
