Aamir Finally Reacts To Geeta’s Ex-Coach’s Allegations About His Shady Portrayal In ‘Dangal’

‘Dangal‘ is certainly one of the (few) good things, 2016 will be remembered for! Cinematic brilliance, ace acting by Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra and big bucks by the box office. What’s not to celebrate?

However, amidst all the noise there were rumours rife that Geeta Kumari Phogat’s Commonwealth games coach, P. R. Sondhi was not particularly happy about his portrayal in the movie. He went to say that the film is marring his reputation as a national level coach.

According to Mail Today, P. R. Sondhi had reacted to the aspect of being on a constant tiff with Mahavir Singh Phogat in the film and also the infamous scene where Mahavir was locked in a room during the Commonwealth games.

“I have a very close relation with the Phogat family. Just to spice things up you can’t defame me. I know the name isn’t the same, but it’s quite evident that I am the person being referred to here.”

“If a national coach had locked someone then why nobody reported the incident? If you ask Geeta, I am sure she will deny such incident.”

Now, clearing the air, Aamir Khan has finally opened up about the allegations about the film and defended it saying,

“No, he was not actually locked up in the room. Like in every biopic, some bit of fiction is added but the spirit of the story of Mahavir, Geeta and Babita is intact. There may be a few incidents here and there which may not have happened exactly that way but in essence, it is their story.”

Hopefully, this will put a period on the debate!
