Accompanied by his father, Aamir expressed immense happiness at sharing the stage with renowned Indian stars such as Anu Malik, Vicky Kaushal, Himesh Reshammiya and others.<\/p>\n<p>While sharing his tragic story on the show, Lone recalled that when he was eight years old, his mother asked him to deliver meals to his brother at their family-owned sawmill. \u201cThe sawmill was left operational as my family and other workers had lunch. My jacket got caught in the machinery, which resulted in me being armless,\u201d he told.<\/p>\n<p>After the tragic incident, Lone\u2019s father, Bashir Ahmad Lone, disposed of the sawmill. Despite his personal tragedy, Lone harboured a deep love for cricket. After completing his first year at Government Degree College Bijbehara, Anantnag, a teacher recognised his cricketing talent and guided him towards para cricket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring my childhood, I aspired to be a cricketer like Sachin Tendulkar, with dreams of representing my country. However, the tragic incident shattered my dreams. Yet, my grandmother urged me not to lose hope,\u201d Aamir said, adding that one day, he asked his grandmother to roll a ball towards him, and a smile lit up her face. \u201cWherever she dropped the ball, I moved to hit it. With time, I learned and perfected the techniques of cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once he joined college, a para cricketer\u2019s camp was underway, providing him with an opportunity to play for the para cricket team. \u201cDuring my turn to bat, I scored 30 runs. This accomplishment led to my selection as the captain of the Jammu and Kashmir para cricket team,\u201d Lone said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2015, I played at Wankhede Stadium for my second national appearance, and by 2017, I had the honour of representing my country in Para International Cricket in Bangladesh.\u201dAfter hearing Lone\u2019s story on the \u201cSa Re Ga Ma Pa\u201d show, Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal expressed that he had resolved the biggest problem for him.<\/p>\n<p>The actor said he would feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to portray Aamir\u2019s life in a movie.\u201cI am glad I met Aamir Bhai today. The term \u2018Bahadur\u2019 isn\u2019t thrown around casually, but it truly fits him. He\u2019s a true hero, and I salute his bravery,\u201d Vicky shared.Lone attributed his success to his grandmother, who \u201cplayed an important role in my achievements\u201d. \u201cUntil my Grandmother\u2019s demise, she dedicated her whole life to me. After that, I had to adapt, managing tasks independently with my feet and chin,\u201d Aamir said.(KNO)<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aamir Hussain Lone, a resilient armless cricketer from Waghama village of Bijbehara in south Kashmir\u2019s Anantnag district, graced the stage of the popular singing reality show \u201cSa Re Ga Ma Pa\u201d in Mumbai, leaving a lasting impression on the audience and judges alike, with his remarkable journey as a cricketer.
