Aamir Khan fulfils Peepli [Live] actor's dream of meeting his fave star
Omkar Das Manikpuri, who essays the character of Natha in Peepli [Live], realised his dream yesterday. The folk
actor from Chattisgarh met Deepika Padukone whom he adores.
Ever since he saw some parts of Love Aaj Kal on a flight while travelling for the promotions of Peepli [Live], he had
expressed a desire to meet her. He requested producers Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao to arrange a meeting with the
actress.
Lucky charm as gift
As a result, Aamir had to request Dippy to interact with her fan. Deepika, who was shooting for a commercial at
Mehboob Studios, took time off to meet Manikpuri. Kiran accompanied Manikpuri for his starry encounter.
When he saw Deepika, he could not stop smiling. He gifted her a Chattisgarhi necklace made of old and new coins
that is worn by women from his region for good luck.
The actress presented him with a collection of her movie CDs. He then proclaimed that he loved Deepika's dimples!
Earlier, Manikpuri had put Aamir in a dilemma when he initially told him that he was keen to meet Katrina Kaif. But
later he told him that he had actually meant Deepika.
