Amidst all the applause that Aamir Khan and the cast and crew of Dangal are receiving, there’s something else too, which is gaining equal attention. It is Geeta Phogat’s wedding to fellow wrestler Pawan Kumar, and Aamir Khan’s presence there.

The actor is said to be very close to the Phogat family and in fact, Mr. Perfectionist considers Geeta and Babita as his own daughters.

Aamir was also planning to gift a special wedding outfit to the bride (read the complete story here). 

But according to recent reports, Geeta politely declined that offer. Aamir was quoted as saying:

“I wanted to gift her the joda, but tradition doesn't allow that. Only the bride's mama (maternal uncle) can gift the shaadi ka joda. So I got other gifts for her." 

That was a very humble thought, Aamir. The actor's equation with the Phogat family is evident in Geeta’s wedding pictures that have gone viral. Aamir also wore a pink pagdi and looked pretty much a part of the ladkiwallas.  

Here are a few photos from Geeta Phogat’s wedding. In most pictures, Aamir beautifully blended with the family. According to various entertaining dailies, Aamir spent two hours with the Phogat family.
