It was a moment on cloud 9 for Sonu Nigam when childhood bow-idol Aamir Khan recently appeared on the sets of Zee's ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs' and affectionately autographed a diary Sonu had carefully cultivated, capturing hundreds of pictures of the superstar through the years.

Almost choking with joy, Sonu told Aamir that he had idolized him since he was knee-high, watched his every film, read his every interview and dreamt of enjoying a female fan following like his.

Aamir was very touched on seeing the diary and said, "Sonu, in fact, I am a huge fan of yours and admire your versatility. And if as a teenager, you fantasized of having a female fan following like mine, you have most certainly lived out your dream."

Proving Aamir right, Aditya Narayan went on to add that the team at ‘Li'l Champs' has been inundated with fan mail for Sonu.

Salma, a Sonu-fanatic from Dubai has been eagerly writing in to tell Sonu that she has a collection of pictures that showcases all his hairstyles ever since he began his journey of fame as the charming host of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma'.
