"President Obama said he has heard a lot about my work and my films," said Aamir, who was clad in a cream coloured kurta pyjama.

"It (the dinner) was an opportunity to meet big personalities. I am a big fan of Manmohan-ji and I am happy that he called me up," he told the journalists.

    Mr. Aamir Khan, you were specially
    invited to be a VIP guest at the
    dinner. U.S. First lady took
    time to dance with the under-
    privileged children of Bombay.

    Well, people of your stature and
    fame can make a great difference
    in the society by bending down
    and touching the lives of the
    underprivileged people of the
    society.

    The first lady bypassed all the
    political protocol, and came down
    and touched the lives of the
    underprivileged children, which I
    hope will teach a moral and
    spiritual lesson to the rich and
    famous about the real meaning and
    worth of "genuine greatness".

    You are doing a lot of social
    services, and may God help you to
    do more in the future.
