Dangal star Zaira Wasim was recently trolled for meeting the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti. Following this, she posted an apology on her Facebook (which she later deleted) and Instagram account.
Now, Aamir Khan has come out in support of his Dangal co-star. Aamir took to his Twitter account and tweeted his statement in which he has called Zaira, a role model for himself and has also appealed to people to leave her alone.
Here's what it reads, "I have read Zaira's statement, and I can understand and imaging what lead her to make that statement. Zaira, I want you to know that we are all with you. The beauty is that bright, young, talented, hardworking, respectful, caring and courageous kids like you are role model for kids not only in India, but across the world. You certainly are role model for me! May god bless you. Love Aamir.
PS: I appeal to everyone to now leave her alone and respect the fact that she is just a 16 year old girl trying her best to deal with life"
