Aamir Khan’s on-screen daughter in Dangal, Suhani Bhatnagar passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 19. She played the role of Junior Babita Phogat in the film. The film turned out to be a massive hit at the box office, garnering rave reviews from fans, critics as well as from celebs. Even Salman Khan too had praised the film.
Back in 2016, Salman Khan’s Sultan and Aamir Khan’s Dangal dropped in theatres and turned out to be a massive hits at box office. Salman had earlier tweeted, “My Family saw #Dangal today evening and thought it was a much better film than #Sultan. Love u personally Aamir but hate u professionally!” along with the film’s poster. Dangal grossed Rs 538.03 crore in India and a staggering Rs 1,960 crore worldwide.
The sports drama was directed by Nilesh Tiwari. The inspiring biopic is based on renowned wrestler Mahavir Phogat and his daughters, Geeta and Babita Phogat. Suhani played the younger version of Babita, while Sanya Malhotra played the older Babita Phogat. Zaira Wasim stepped into the role of the child version of Geeta Phogat, while Fatima Sana Shaikh played the role of elder Geeta Phogat.
Suhani Bhatnagar was diagnosed with dermatomyositis and was prescribed steroids, since that is the only cure to the ailment. However, the medication had a side effect on her immune system, leading to an infection that weakened her lungs and water accumulation in the vital organ. As a result, she had difficulty breathing and passed away on Friday.
Her mother had earlier shared that she was performing well in college and had plans to return to acting after her graduation. “She was performing very well in college, she even topped in the last semester. She was brilliant in everything and wanted to excel in whatever she wanted to do. Our daughter has made us very proud.”
