Aamir Khan was honoured with the Master Dinanath Mangeshkar award for his outstanding work in ‘Dangal’ at the prestigious ceremony held on Monday at Shanmukananda Hall in Mumbai. Last time the actor attended an award function was 16 years ago at the Academy Awards when ‘Lagaan’ was nominated in the Best Film category.
Aamir Khan has been receiving appreciation from all quarters for his work in the blockbuster ‘Dangal’ which shattered box-office records to become the highest all-time grosser of Bollywood. The film was a biopic on Haryanvi wrestler Mahavir Singh and his two daughters and India’s women wrestlers. The actor had undergone a huge physical transformation to portray Mahavir’s character on-screen.
