Filmmaker and producer Tahir Hussain, Aamir Khan's father, passed away day-before-yesterday following a massive cardiac arrest at his Bandra residence. Aamir was in Los Angeles attending the Sundance Festival with his wife Kiran Rao when he was informed about his father's death and the two rushed to Mumbai. Here's more information on Tahir:u00a0 <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/feb/Tahir.jpg" border="5" /> &gt;&gt;u00a0Though he passed away in his Bandra residence, he stayed in Pune with his second wife, Zeenat. He was last seen at Imran Khan's engagement ceremony held last month. &gt;&gt;u00a0Hussain made his debut as an actor in 1961 in his brother Nasir Hussain's film, Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai. He spent the next few years doing small roles before taking up production. &gt;&gt;u00a0Hussain's film Locket got stalled in the 1980s and this led to major bankruptcy. Aamir had said in a recent interview, "For five years, I remember him getting calls from creditors. One night, he woke up looking for his graduation certificate so he could get a job and feed us." &gt;&gt;u00a0Tahir directed Aamir for the first time in his directorial debut Tum Mere Ho in 1990. Though the film bombed, he repeated the lead pair of Aamir and Juhi Chawla in his next production venture Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, which went on to become the biggest hit of his career.
