Mr. Perfectionist is just escalating from being better to best these days. Aamir Khan, who is already beefed up for his next 'Dangal' based on the life of Indian wrestler Mahavir Phogat had surprise visitors to help him polish his performance on screen.

Daughters of Mahavir Phogat, Babita and Geeta flew down to Mumbai from Harayana to meet the actor.  

A source shares, "Aamir was very keen to meet them, and all of their schedules finally matched. So the girls came down to Mumbai. Aamir was a gracious host and ensured that they were taken care of. It was an emotional meeting for the trio. They discussed Mahavir’s life, what he had taught the girls, and more."

The duo provided him with the nitty-gritty of their father’s life and also shared about their lifestyle in their hometown with the actor.
