Aamir Khan personally visits Suhani Bhatnagar’s parents in Faridabad to offer condolences. May her soul rest in peace.
Actor Aamir Khan paid a heartfelt visit to the deceased actor’s relatives Suhani Bhatnagar on Thursday in Faridabad, where she expressed her condolences and support in the wake of her untimely demise. Suhani, who shot to fame playing young Babita Phogat in the blockbuster Dangal, died last Friday at the age of 19, succumbing to dermatomyositis – a rare inflammatory disease that causes skin rashes and muscle weakness. After her death, Suhani’s father Sumit Bhatnagar told PTI, “Her lungs were damaged due to infection and accumulation of excess fluid.”
Deeply affected by the tragic news, Aamir Khan met Suhani’s parents and relatives around 6 pm, inquired about her illness and expressed his condolences. Suhani’s uncle Navneet Bhatnagar confirmed Aamir Khan’s visit and emphasized the actor’s genuine concern for the family at this difficult time. The meeting provided an opportunity for Khan to offer comfort and support to Suhani’s grieving parents.
After her death, Aamir Khan’s production house released a statement expressing their deep sorrow over Suhani’s death. The statement read: “We are deeply saddened to hear that our Suhani has passed away. Our sincere 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.” Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan also reacted to the heartbreaking news, expressing her sadness with a poignant “Oh no!!!”
Suhani’s mother, in an interview with E24, spoke about the special bond between Suhani and Aamir Khan. “Aamir Sir has always been in touch with her. He’s a nice person. We never shared this with him. We actually didn’t inform anyone. We were so disturbed by this,” she revealed. Talking about Aamir Khan’s warmth, she added, “Definitely, if we had messaged him, he would have been there for us immediately. He even invited us to his daughter’s wedding. And he even called us personally to be part of his big day.”
Suhani’s mother also shared her daughter’s proud achievements and said, “She performed very well in college; she even reached the top this past semester. She was brilliant at everything and wanted to excel in everything she wanted to do. Our daughter has made us very proud.”
The 19-year-old actor, who was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences on February 7, left a void in the hearts of her loved ones as she bid adieu on February 16.
May her soul rest in peace.
