Nihal Bitla, a 14-year-old boy, who suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Progeria, expressed his desire to meet superstar Aamir Khan.
“I want to meet Aamir Khan and thank him for the movie Tare Zameen Par which gave me courage–but there’s not much progress on that one yet!,” Nihal told The Humans Of Bombay.
When Nihal spoke about his bucket list, little did he know that his wish would come true so soon. In less than a week, Aamir Khan met Nihal. Aamir spent time with Nihal and clicked selfies with him. He also brought with him gifts for Nihal and a signed copy of Taare Zameen Par. This is what he wrote on the DVD – “To Dear Nihal, Was lovely meeting you. Wishing you happiness always. Keep smiling. Love Aamir.”
Nihal just got the best Christmas gift! 🙂
