I hav absolutely no problems wid ur “past”, as the interviewer puts it. Stay blessed.Love .a (sic),” he had tweeted. Recently, Aamir did so again, when he said during a TV interview that if Sunny wants to work in the film industry and create a space for herself, she should be supported. Here, she talks about meeting Aamir, and more.

Aamir has supported you on a public platform once again. How does it feel?

Honestly, I never expected someone of his level to be so supportive of me. He is one of the nicest and most humble people I have met. When you hold someone in such high regard, and then one day, they reach out to you in such a great manner, it’s nothing less than a dream come true. To him, I can only say, “Thank you a million times.”

Does getting backed by a star like him motivate you?

Of course it does. I look up to Aamir and respect him immensely. I am really grateful that so many Bollywood actors had commented in my favour (at the time of the interview). I didn’t expect it at all. It felt great to see that people were, and still are, on my side.
