‘Dangal’ actress reveals Aamir Khan isn’t her favorite actor or mentor

21 Nov, 2017

Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan introduced four girls in one of India’s highest grossing movie ‘Dangal’ but one these girls says her favorite actor is not Aamir but somebody else.

Only at the age of 17, actress Zaira Wasim has made it to the list of 100-crore grosser club as the youngest member. The actress’s latest movie ‘Secret Superstar’ has already collected Rs. 121 crore worldwide. Zaira recently sat down for an interview with Mid-day and much to everyone's shock, she revealed that co-star Aamir is not her favorite actor.

‘Dangal’ actress trolled again for her ‘shameless selfie’

The actress, who has two National Child Awards, was asked how she feels to be part of the elite club that includes the likes of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and of course, her ‘Secret Superstar’ co-actor Aamir Khan among others. She replied with a laugh, "I have not been aware of the collections so much. It's great that the film has done so well worldwide but for creative people like us, what matters is how the audience connects to the film emotionally. I am really overwhelmed when people come and tell me they loved the film."

When asked about her favorite actor, Zaira said, "I don't watch a lot of films, but my favorite star would be Sanjay Mishra. The kind of movies he does is amazing!" The young actress was also quick to interrupt when Aamir was called her mentor. "I don't agree with the thought that they [Khan and wife Kiran Rao] are my mentors. They are family for me. Whenever I need any advice, I speak to them. They are just one call away."
