Photos: What did Aamir Khan gift Geeta Phogat at her wedding?

Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Dangal is based on the lives of wrestler Mahavir Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita who have won national accolades. The actor along with his team Dangal recently attended the marriage of national wrestler Geeta Phogat in Haryana. The whole village was there to witness the auspicious occasion and people were happy to see Aamir Khan attend the event.

Some even joked that they get to see ‘doh-doh mahaveer‘! Team Dangal made sure to bless the bride and the groom. When someone asked Aamir Khan about the wedding gift, the actor did make sure to bring one!

Aamir Khan quipped that the movie Dangal is the wedding gift to Geeta Phogat. He also added that he planned to give a bridal gown to the bride but couldn’t do it due to ‘traditional reasons’ as the gown is given by the maternal uncle of the bride. Now, that is really sweet of Aamir!

The actor did not shy away from saying some of the dialogues from the movie and during one instance he said, ” Maari choriyan kya choron se kam hai?” Dressed in a white kurta pyjama and a black coloured Nehru jacket, the actor also flaunted a red colored turban. The wedding took place in the Balali village of Haryana.

Geeta Phogat got married to fellow wrestler Pawan Kumar. The wrestler also took an extra eighth ‘phera‘ thereby addressing the issue of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative. Mahavir Phogat and his family broke the established patriarchal norms in the society. Both Geeta and Babita have been trained by Mahavir himself.
