Bollywood actor
Aamir Khan , who arrived in Kathmandu on Tuesday, has reached Kapilvastu to participate in a Unicef-initiated
nutrition programme initiated by a local women’s group on Wednesday.

The Indian cine icon spent around an hour in a programme orgainsed at
the Pakadi Health Post in the district where health officials and women
volunteers made a presentation on local
nutrition status. After attending the programme, Khan has left for Lumbini, the birth place of Lord Gautama Buddha.
Khan is scheduled to return to the Capital after visiting the Mayadevi Temple in Lumbini.
During the visit, he will also be officially inducted as regional Goodwill Ambassador for
nutrition .
Through his off-beat movies and TV talk show, Khan has found a unique
voice, championing for a wide range of social issues, such as female
foeticides, child sexual abuse, honour killings, insensitivity towards
the physically disabled, alcoholism, and problems faced by senior
citizens.
Khan’s three-day visit has been kept a low-key affair due to possible
security hassles given the superstar’s wide fan following in Nepal.
He landed with his personal security personnel at Tribhuvan
International Airport on Tuesday afternoon in a Jet Airways flight from
Mumbai. A dozen Nepal police personnel have been deployed for his
security at Dwarika’s Hotel where he is staying at a high-end suite.
Nine additional rooms have been booked for 18 other guests and UN
officials accompanying him.
Before wrapping up his visit, Unicef on Thursday will organise a press conference where Khan will share his Nepal experience.
