The sensational Bollywood flick Bajrangi Bhaijan' became a success story on Indian Box Office and around the globe - but did it really turn out to be a life changing' for real-life Guddi - whose ordeal of spending life without parents is magnificently captured in the movie?

Human rights activist and former Pakistani federal minister for human rights Ansar Burney has called upon the Indian star Salman Khan to step up and replicate his Bajrangi Bhiajan role in the real life and help a lost Indian girl -currently in Pakistan " find her family back home in India.

"We must not leave any stone unturned to make Geeta realize there are sympathizers' in India too, who are making efforts to help her reach home."


Pakistan's real Bajrangi Bhaijan appeals to... by ARYNews

Meanwhile, Bollywood's heartthrob Salman Khan has responded to our report and asked Bajrangi director to help find Geeta's family after Ansar Burney's appeal.

Geeta is an Indian girl, deaf and mute, who accidentally crossed into Pakistan many years ago as a child. Mr Burney says this happened 15 years ago and since she cannot speak or talk, Rangers handed her over to a local shelter home in Lahore. She was then transferred to the Edhi Home in Karachi where she is currently living. Mr Burney also had also traveled to India in October 2012 with photographs and pictures of the girl three years ago.

Bilquis Edhi has suggested Geeta to begin a new life here and get marreid to a Hindu boy. Geeta, through her gestures, refused and said she would get marry only after she returns home. Ms Edhi also named the girl who accidentally strayed across the border into Pakistan Geeta'.

In a video message, Burney refers to the Bollywood star, saying "Salman khan sahib, you've translated real life story to a film, earned billions and didn't credit Pakistan or us. But let's forget. We don't want promotion or publicity as it's not our ambition. Now you should put up your hand and announce assistance to this girl and Ansar Burney Trust. " He detailed that the girl was found in Pakistan around 15 years ago, when she was six and identified herself as Guddi' - a same character played by pretty Harshali Malhotra in Bajrangi Bhaijan . "Ansar Burney Trust is endeavouring to find her family for last three years."

Mr. Burney said the entire story revolves around Pakistan, Ansar Burney and a Paksitani journalist Chand Nawab. "We can move to Indian Supreme Court for compensation, but we won't resort to that move." I am heading to India on September 2, he said, to meet H.H. Dalailama and I would visit areas to find family of Geeta.

The director of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kabir Khan, after reports in the media, has sent an email to Mr. Burney assuring him support in the mission.

Here's the screenshot of the email received to the human rights activist.

"I hope you (Salman) to carry along us in this mission during India visit. "Alike Geeta, there is a child named Salman, who was one-and-a-half year old when his parents were sent back to Pakistan. "

The efforts of Ansar Burney Trust seem to have yielding positive results after three years as Minister of External Affairs of India Sushma Swaraj tweeted to Burney that she had directed Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan, to head to Karachi and meet with Geeta.
