Mumbai, Jun 20: As Aamir Khan's sports drama Sitaare Zameen Par marked one year since its release on Saturday, director R. S. Prasanna shared a heartfelt message praising the actor and producer for his unwavering support throughout the filmmaking journey.

Taking to social media, Prasanna described Aamir Khan as an exceptional actor, producer and mentor, saying that collaborating with him had been an enriching experience.

According to media reports, the couple is expected to tie the knot on July 5 in a private registered ceremony at home, attended by close family members and a small circle of friends. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the wedding plans from Aamir Khan or his representatives.
