You Certainly are a Role Model for me!: Aamir Khan to his Dangal co-star Zaira Wasim 

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan on Tuesday told his Dangal co-star Zaira Wasim, that he's "with her", a day after the Kashmiri teen was trolled on Facebook because J&K's chief minister called her "a Kashmiri role model".

After J&K CM Mufti called Zaira a "role model", Twitter trolls called both women "Indian agents." Zaira then wrote two posts on Facebook saying she doesn't want to be considered a role model. She then deleted these posts. Today, Aamir Khan came out in full support of her.

"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 a 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," the Bollywood star wrote.

He added a P.S.: "I appeal to everyone to now leave her alone and respect the fact that she is just a 16 yr old girl trying her best to deal with life."

Wrestler Geeta Phogat, whom Zaira played in Dangal, also defended teenage filmstar.

"She shouldn't be scared as the nation is with her... There's no need for Zaira to issue an apology. She has not done anything wrong. We have made the nation proud by winning medals. It is a proud moment for the citizens of the country. Zaira has worked hard to play my role," Geeta said.

Opposition leader, the National Conference's Omar Abdullah also supported Zaira, but he tok a dig at Mufti.

"A 16-year-old shouldn't be forced to apologise & that too allegedly for meeting @MehboobaMufti. What are we coming to!!!!!" Abdullay tweeted.
