"I am humbled that you all are here to wish me. My day starts with you, with your good wishes," said an overwhelmed Aamir who welcomed the media outside his Pali Hill residence. He cut a cake and spoke to reporters.
"I would thank god who has given me all the success and happiness that god has showered on me in my personal life. We were recently blessed with a kid named Azad so I am thankful to god," said the actor, dressed casually in shorts and a T-shirt.
With each passing year, Aamir looks younger and says that it is all because of his parents' genes.
"There is no secret behind this. I would only thank my 'ami' and 'abbajaan' who has given me these genes. Whatever we are, it is given by our parents. I try to live a healthy life," he said.
The actor is not known to throw lavish birthday bashes, and prefers spending time with his near and dear ones on his special day.

TV show delays 'Talaash' release
The release of Aamir Khan-starrer "Talaash", scheduled for June 1, has been pushed to November-end or in the actor's lucky month December, co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani says.Aamir's involvement with his TV show is the reason for the delay. "We have postponed the release of 'Talaash'. It will release either in November-end or the first week of December," Sidhwani told.
Perhaps a December release could do well for the project, given Aamir's history with the month. For three consecutive years, starting 2007, he gave back-to-back hits -- "Taare Zameen Par", "Ghajini" and "3 Idiots" -- which were released in December.
Citing the reason behind the delay in the film's release, Sidhwani said: "Aamir's TV show (for Star Plus) is going to be on air till June. That is eating into the promotion of 'Talaash'. And since it's Aamir's next big film after '3 Idiots', he needs to be around for its promotion."
Directed by Reema Kagti, "Talaash" also features Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor. It is co-produced by Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment, as well as Aamir Khan Productions.
