Actor Aamir Khan, at his sporting best, launched author Sanjay Sharma’s book on badminton player Pullela Gopichand at the Khar Gymkhana in Mumbai last evening. Gopichand, a Padma Shri and Arjuna awardee, established the Gopichand Badminton Academy. He is also top-ranking Indian shuttler, Saina Nehwal’s coach. Aamir indulged in a game of badminton with Saina at the launch, but not before he had warmed up with full stretches and lunges, like any professional player.

Azad means free or liberated. We want to thank everyone for their warm wishes and blessings, and needless to say we are absolutely overjoyed and feel most blessed. Much love. a.” Watch Slideshow: [fpgallery id= 352]
