There were reports not long ago that Mallika Sherawat had auditioned for Aamir Khan’s forthcoming film ‘Dangal’, in the role to play his wife. However, it seems the reason she didn’t end up bagging he part was apparently due to Khan himself.

Absolute India report Sherawat revealing, “”I had auditioned for the role of Aamir’s wife in Dangal. Aamir Khan and the film unit loved my auditions. But as my role would be a mother of 4 grown up girls, Aamir felt that regardless of whatever could be done; I might not look old enough to play a mother to four teenage daughters. That is the only reason why I did not get cast in the film”.

The role eventually went to Sakshi Tanwar who is a popular Indian television actress.

‘Dangal’ commenced last week and will see Khan play wrestler Mahavir Phogat.
