"As a creative person, I am infused with enthusiasm and encouragement! This kind of support and love gives me so much strength to always follow my creative instincts," Aamir, 51,told IANS.

Dangal holds the record for highest single day earnings. It surpassed PK's collection of Rs 340 crore at the box office. PK featured Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma in the lead. The film released in December 2014.
