New Delhi, Jan 17 (IBNS): Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan came out in support of his onscreen daughter actress Zaira Wasim and said she is a 'role model' for him.

Zaira posted an apologetic statement after she faced online trolls following her meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.

"I have read Zaira’s statement, and I can understand and imagine what lead her to make the statement. Zaira, I want you to know that we are all with you," Khan said in a statement.

"The beauty is that bright, young, talented, hardworking, respectful, caring and courageous kids like you are a role model for kids not only in India, but across the world," he said.

Khan said: "You certainly are a role model for me! May god bless you. Love. Aamir. PS: I appeal to everyone to now leave her alone and respect the fact that she is just a 16 year old girl trying her best to deal with life.”

Khan acted with Zaira in his latest released wrestling movie 'Dangal'.
