According to media officials, upon Aamir Khan’s request, the actor was received by the first lady at the presidential residence at the Huber Mansion in Istanbul.

Bollywood megastar briefed Erdogan about the various social projects that he and his wife, Kiran Rao, have been involved in, including his initiative of the Water Foundation which aims to supply water to regions hit by drought.

The report further claimed that he was felicitated by Erdogan for using his films to highlight crucial social problems around the world.

The two prominent figures also went into discourse about the several comparable aspects of Turkish and Indian cultures including food and handicrafts.
