Actor and filmmaker Aamir Khan has said that he was a huge fan of late artist and humorist Moin Akhtar.
The ‘Dangal’ actor opened up about his admiration for the legendary comedian in a brief meeting with Senator Mushahid Hussain on the sidelines of first Asian Civilisations Dialogue, hosted by Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
“Good meeting with legendary Indian movie icon Aamir Khan, who is also in Beijing for the first Asian Civilisations Dialogue, hosted by President Xi Jinping; Khan’s movie ‘Dangal’ is a big hit in China, he says, ‘I am a huge fan of late Moin Akhtar, an amazing/talented actor’!” the senator wrote while Tweeting a picture of their meeting.
It is pertinent to note that ‘Dangal’ grossed $216.2 million in China, becoming one of the country’s top 20 highest-grossing films and the highest-grossing non-English foreign film in China.
Akhtar needs no introduction as he is considered one of the greatest artists of the subcontinent.
His mimicry skills, comedy, acting and many other talents made him a household name not only in Pakistan but in India too as a number of Indian comedians have termed him their role model.
