Kathmandu: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who is in Nepal to promote child nutrition, has been appointed as United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund's (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador for South Asian region.
The Regional Director of UNICEF South Asia, Karin Hulshof, announced the 49-year-old actor as the Goodwill Ambassador during a programme in the Capital today.
Aamir visited a health post at Pakadi Village in Kapilvastu district yesterday for promoting nutrition for children where he interacted with local health workers and volunteers.
