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'.
