Not sure why "The ceremony took place on 31 October 2011 and was attended by the incumbent Chief Minister of Haryana,Bhupinder Singh Hooda" is relevant in this section.
Inline citation for Pathan ancestry needed.
The "[t]here was life beyond movies, in terms of conversation and experience" quote is without context.
Career
(first two sub-sections)
Do we have any reliable source talking about why he was dropped from Bekhudi?
How does this sound? (but after completing the first shooting schedule of the film, he was unceremoniously dropped and replaced by Kamal Sadanah for his unprofessionalism.) -- BollywoodDreamztalk05:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC)reply
"The film tells the story of two estranged brothers (played by Aamir Khan and Khan) and failed to find a wide audience" ==> The film, which tells the story of two estranged brothers (..), failed to find a wide audience".
Inline citation missing for "Khan earned the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for his performance in Aashiq Awara at the 39th Filmfare Awards."
"year's biggest hits" Just "hits" sounds informal; use "box office hit".
"Khan compared the portrayal of his character with his own evolving maturity to a father" => "..as a father"
" National Film Award-winning Dil Chahta Hai"
WP: UNDUE. How about mentioning which notable award it won at the ceremony?
Random observation: I know it's difficult to find reviews for older film, but there is a bit too much of Rediff.com and Taran Adarsh here. Might be better to look at some archived links from The Hindu, The Tribune, Times of India, etc.
Inline citation needed for his Filmfare win for KHNH.
"In an attempt to not get typecast" ==> "In an attempt to avoid typecasting"
"Khan starred as Karan Singh Rathod in the thriller Ek Hasina Thi (2004) someone who he described as "aCharles Sobhraj-meets-James Bond kind of a guy"" ==> ""Khan starred as Karan Singh Rathod in the thriller Ek Hasina Thi (2004), a character he described as...". Also, inline citation needed for the quote".
"in preparation for the role, exercised extensively for a period of six months to achieve the physical requirements of his character" => "a period of" is redundant.
Inline citation missing for " For his performance, Khan received nominations at the Screen, Zee Cine and IIFA ceremonies."
" after the director "realised that the role needed a younger man". Younger than whom?
"Chopra was initially reluctant in casting Khan as the male protagonist because he felt that "I could not manage it"." Context needed for the quote. Why did he think he couldn't manage working with Khan?
"the movie revolves around a jealous and ungrateful ruler who will not let his wife die in peace because she is uttering the name of Eklavya". Doesn't convey much because reader's won't know who Eklavya is.
Sorry to nitpick on this, but Box Office India
calls it a flop. Made on a budget of 72 crores, it only made 84 crores worldwide, while a film needs to make atleast twice as much to turn in a profit.

Comment— I'm just confused because some sources (
[1]) have mentioned that it was a "decent" success. Perhaps I could say something like: The film eventually recovered its budget, but was generally perceived to be a box-office failure grossing ₹840 million worldwide on a budget of ₹720 million. -- BollywoodDreamztalk20:24, 26 August 2016 (UTC)reply
Since that's an interview with Saif himself, we can something like "Although Khan was pleased with the film's performance, Phantom was generally perceived to be a box-office failure grossing ₹840 million worldwide on a budget of ₹720 million."

"and has appeared in a range of film genres—he found a niche playing roles in romantic comedies" ==> "and has appeared in a range of film genres, although he has found a niche playing roles in romantic comedies".
"Shomini Sen" who?
India Today attributed his roles in these films as to establishing a new image for leading actors in Bollywood, and The Tribune published that Khan "matured, both as an actor of substance and as a bankable star." => "India Today attributed his roles in these films to the establishment of a new image for leading actors in Bollywood, and The Tribune published that Khan had successfully "matured, both as an actor of substance and as a bankable star."
The intro notes that he was born Sajid Ali Khan; this implies that he legally changed his name at some point. Do we have a source to support the name change?
