I

Came:

Geeta,

first
ever
gold
in

at

Mahavir's
Story
Is
An
Inspiration
To
All:
Aamir
Khan
"Mahavir's
story
is
an
inspiration
to
all.
That's
why
Nitesh
wrote
this
story.
Wrestling
is
the
oldest
sport.
I
watch
wrestling
on
TV
and
I
wish
I
could
also
join
them
in
the
fights,"
Aamir
said
at
the
wedding.
Aamir
At
The
Phogat
Residence
The
Phogat
residence
was
crammed
with
around
500
guests
who
came
to
congratulate
Geeta
Phogat
and
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
Aamir
Khan.
The
actor
told
the
reporters
present
at
the
wedding
that
he
wanted
to
gift
Geeta
her
bridal
dress,
but
that
is
traditionally
done
by
the
bride's
maternal
uncle.
Hence,
he
stuck
to
a
fruit
box.
Aamir
also
added
that
his
gift
to
the
Phogat
family
is
his
film
Dangal.

When
asked
if
he
had
presented
the
bride
her
wedding
lehenga,
the
actor
reportedly
said,
"I
was
about
to
bring
one
for
her
but
I
later
got
to
know
that
her
mama
(maternal
uncle)
is
supposed
to
get
it.
But
my
film
Dangal
is
my
gift
to
her
and
I
wish
her
all
the
best
in
life."
