This LADY is the reason why Aamir Khan attended an awards show after 16 years!

This LADY is the reason why Aamir Khan attended an awards show after 16 years!This LADY is the reason why Aamir Khan attended an awards show after 16 years!

Who could have said no to her!

We all know that superstar Aamir Khan has taken a vow to never attend any Bollywood awards function and he hasn't really broken that promise in the last 16 years.

But on Monday, he broke his 16-year-old promise to attend an awards function at the request of one of Bollywood's leading female singers. Yes, that lady is none other than India's nightingale, Lata Manageshkar.

So when the legendary singer requested the Dangal star to come and attend the 75th Deenanath Mangeshkar awards held in Mumbai on Monday, the actor had no choice but to say yes to her.

"He made an exception for me..."

“I know he doesn’t collect awards. But he has made an exception for us. Aamir is indeed one of my favourite actors. Though we don’t meet anymore I know there is enormous mutual respect between us. I’ve known him from the time he was a child. I’ve seen him at his home playing and jumping around at his home when I visited his father (filmmaker Tahir Husain). He has always showered immense affection on me. I remember when he made Lagaan he insisted I sing the bhajan ‘O Paalan Hare’. I love his focus and dedication to his work and most of all, I love his films. Taare Zameen Par is one of my favourite films featuring a contemporary actor, " Lata Mangeshkar said in an interview to a leading daily.

Latatai, as she is known as across Bollywood, also added that she is honoured to give the award the Vishesh Puraskar to Aamir for his film Dangal at the 75th Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Award, named after her father Hridyanath Mangeshkar.

"It is rare to come across an artiste with such a conscientious body of work. We love seeing Aamir on screen. My siblings Meena, Asha, Usha and Hridaynath, and I are honoured to give the award named after my father to Aamir," she added.

Aamir was given the award by RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) chief Mohan Madhukar Bhagwat. While many news organizations have criticized him, Aamir, on the other hand, feels honoured and happy at the respect he's got.

"It's a huge respect that we've got, Nitesh Tewari - the director of Dangal and me. I want to thank Lata Didi, the Dinanath trust, and their entire family, for bestowing us and our film with this honour. A film starts with a writer, and the respect that we've got across the nation is all thanks to Nitesh's hard work. I have achieved success and immense love from all my fans, thanks to those writers and directors who've written and made my films. I accept this on behalf of my whole team," said Aamir at the ceremony in Mumbai.

Respect for the elderly...

The awards also marked the 75th death anniversary of Lata Manageshkar's father, Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar, a well-known Marathi theatre actor, a renowned Natya Sangeet musician and a Hindustani classical vocalist

“It’s my father’s 75th death anniversary. It is also 75 years since I started singing in films. My father passed away in April and I started singing in cinema in October, "she said.

Perhaps this is the reason why Aamir chose to make an exception. Aamir, in general, is known for being courteous and polite towards the veteran actors in the film industry and this is something we really like about him. But that's not unnatural in a country like India that thrives on values and customs.

Respect for the elderly is something that all of us have within our hearts and even teach our kids. Here's how you can practice it at home:

1. Practice what you preach: It would be a farce if you only talk about respect and not follow the same in reality. Make sure you are courteous and polite to your elders at home, especially in front of your kids. Don't forget that kids closely watch their parents and follow them blindly.
2. Be patient and consistent: It can indeed be a trying task to teach kids to pick up a habit and needless to say that they take their own sweet time. While we as adults are in a hurry to finish things, parents must understand that kids take time and the key lies in being patient and consistent.
3. Give them opportunities to practice it: Spend time with your family and make sure that your elders are with your kids so that they get the time to warm up to them and establish a bond.
