We have always known that Aamir Khan is the hero with a golden heart. But if you needed more proof of it, here’s news.
The actor has written a beautiful heartwarming letter to two members of the Phogat family - his role in Dangal is based on the life of wrestler Mahavir Phogat - who have been selected for the Rio Olympics.
According to Indiatimes, Aamir has written warm letters to wrestler cousins Babita Kumari and Vinesh Phogat, wishing them luck for the big tournament. The actor knows Mahavir’s girls, Geeta and Babita, well since he spent a lot of time with them while shooting for Dangal in Haryana.
The wrestlers would reportedly carry the letters with them to Brazil. This is the first time three women wrestlers - Babita, Vinesh and Ravinder Khatri - have qualified from India for the Olympics.
Aamir, in the letter, has pointed out to Babita how she has made India proud just by getting selected to represent the country.
