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"
