Social Media Bites

AAMIR KHAN has extended his support to his Dangal co-star Zaira Wasim who was threatened and bullied on social media after her meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. On Twitter Khan posted: “I have read Zaira’s statement, and I can understand and imagine 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 a role model for me! May god bless you. Love Aamir,” He added, “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.” Anupam Kher, Omar Abdullah and the Phogat sisters have also extended their support.
