Aamir Khan thanks Dhoni & team for helping cause of 'Atithi Devo Bhava'

Indian team’s loss to New Zealand in the T20 series might have upset the cricket fans in the country, but Aamir Khan is quite pleased with the outcome of the series.

“I whole-heartedly want to thank MS Dhoni and Team India for losing the final T20, and with it the T20 series, to New Zealand. The Kiwis have been treated with pure disdain throughout the Test series by us and it doesn’t suit a country like ours known for giving highest respect to its guests not to leave our soil with unhappy memories,” said Aamir, the brand ambassador of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’.

The face of ‘Satyamev Jayate’ says his comments are not sarcastic as he takes his job seriously and will do whatever he can to help India’s image of being good hosts. Aamir revealed that plans are afoot to invite the Kiwi cricketers for next season’s “Satyamev Jayate” to heal their wounds after being routed in the Test series against India. He also said that he will ask the studio guests to root for the Kiwis.

Aamir said, “I was relieved when the first tie was washed out by rains, but lost my breath when Dhoni and Rohit Sharma almost pulled off the second match in the last over.”

Aamir narrated the scenes of his living room as he watched the live proceedings of the final over in the second T20. 

“Ohh teri… was my reaction as Dhoni hit a boundary off the second ball, but heaved a sigh of relief when Rohit could not get four runs off the last bowl,” said Aamir describing India’s loss.”

My wife loving came up to me after the matched ended in a win for New Zealand: “All izz well, honey.”

Amir said that he is pleased to that New Zealand did not go back home empty handed after winning the limited-over series.

The Bollywood legend now plans to make a bold move and speak to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in a bid to decide before hand the appropriate margin of victory for the Indian team in the upcoming home series against “guests” England. Apparently, he has sought the help of Sachin Tendulkar and Mumbai Indians owner Mukesh Ambani, both influential figures in Indian cricket and politics, to make actualise his plans.

Aamir has to be different!
