Actor Aamir Khan recently visited the grieving family of ‘Dangal’ actor Suhani Bhatnagar at their home in Faridabad. A picture floating on the internet shows Aamir standing next to Suhani’s frame picture with the late young artist’s parents and other members of the family. Suhani Bhatnagar became renowned for portraying the character of young ‘Babita Phogat’ in the world-acclaimed wrestling film “Dangal’ in 2016.
Suhani passed away on February 16 at the age of 19. She was receiving treatment for dermatomyositis, a rare inflammatory disease, at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. The symptoms first developed two months ago on her left hand. Numerous doctors made efforts to identify the cause but were ultimately unsuccessful. Subsequently, she was admitted to AIIMS.
Suhani’s mother, Pooja Bhatnagar, shared how Aamir connected with the family and extended an invitation to Ira Khan’s wedding. “Aamir Sir always remained in touch with her. He is a nice person. We didn’t inform him about her disease as we were already very disturbed. We kept it to ourselves and didn’t tell anyone. If we had even sent him a text message, he would have immediately responded and called us personally. He bonded with Suhani from the time he came to know her. We even received a proper invitation to his daughter’s marriage recently. He even called us up to say that we had to go,” she shared.
After receiving word of Suhani’s untimely demise, Aamir Khan Productions penned a heartfelt note on their X handle. “We are deeply saddened to hear about our Suhani passing away. Our heartfelt condolences to her mother, Poojaji, and the entire family. Such a talented young girl, such a team player, Dangal would have been incomplete without Suhani. Suhani, you will always remain a star in our hearts. May you rest in peace,” the note read.
