Wrestler Sangram Singh was offered a role as superstar Aamir Khan’s opponent in the upcoming film ‘Dangal’, for the fight to look more realistic. However, the wrestler has turned down the offer.

In an interview, Sangram explained, “I have the highest regard for Aamir and when he asked me to be part of ‘Dangal’, I was most happy. Unfortunately, I would have to lose the match with Aamir. This I couldn’t do.”

When asked if it his pride or ego that stopped him from taking up the role, he said, “Nahin, it’s not a matter of ego or pride. It is to do with preserving the dignity, the respect and love that my country has given me. Just for the pleasure of being seen on screen with Aamir, I can’t play a loser. It will disappoint my supporters.”
