Aamir Khan attends award show after 16 years

He might have vowed to never attend or accept an award but the Perfectionist of Bollywood had to make an exception for the one and only Lata Mangeshkar.

Aamir Khan, who was invited by the Nightingale of India, recently attended Master Dinanath Mangeshkar Awards, held to commemorate her father's 75th death anniversary and it was also when the legendary singer started singing in films.

The actor was honored with Vishesh Puraskar for his outstanding work in ' Dangal' at the prestigious ceremony.

The ' PK' star last attended an award show 16 years ago at the Academy Awards when 'Lagaan' was nominated in the Best Film category.

On the professional front, Aamir Khan will soon be seen in ' Secret Superstar' and is also prepping up for ' Thugs of Hindostan' that also stars Amitabh Bachchan.
