Aamir Khan Mohan Bhagwat

This is significant enough for the actor to be hotly discussed on social media for two reasons - firstly, Aamir Khan famously doesn't attend award shows; secondly, he was condemned by the RSS and others two years ago for certain remarks he made about 'intolerance' in India

Aamir Khan attended an award ceremony for the first time in 16 years as he was honoured for his film "Dangal" on Monday. The superstar received the Master Dinanath Mangeshkar award from Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS.
