Vishnu Vishal recalls Aamir Khan's sweet gesture

In an interview with Galatta Plus, Vishnu Vishal opened up about how Aamir helped him and Jwala during their IVF journey and said, "Long story, I have not shared but it's a very special moment so I'll tell it now. Jwala and I were trying to have a baby for almost two years. It wasn’t happening. She is 41, so we had to undergo several IVF treatments. After 5–6 failed cycles, Jwala almost gave up."

He added, "At that time, Aamir sir was here, so when I shared it with him, he said, ‘Stop everything, come to Mumbai, I’ll refer a doctor to you.’ So he took us to a doctor there. He made sure Jwala stayed with him and his family for 10 months. He treated us like family. What he's done for us is a blessing. Eventually, after two IVF cycles, Jwala got pregnant, and that's when I told him, ‘Sir, you’ll name our baby.’ If not for him, we probably wouldn’t have our daughter."

Fans couldn’t stop praising Aamir’s gesture. One comment read, “Wow!! Aamir is amazing.” Another said, “There’s something about the name Mira that I’ve always loved. Maamu!” Others added, “Godfather Maamu,” and “That’s really sweet!”

Vishnu and Jwala tied the knot in Hyderabad in 2021 in a private ceremony. After dating for almost two years, the couple got married and have now embraced parenthood. Sharing a picture of Aamir holding baby Mira, Jwala posted on X, “Our ‘Mira’! Couldn’t have asked for more!! This journey would have been impossible without you, Aamir!! We love you ❤️ PS: Thank you for the beautiful name!!!!”
