Just then an incident, where his elder daughters Geeta and Babita come home one day after beating up some boys, gives him hope and, who can forget the famous dialogue "hamari chori choro se kam hai ke". It is then we see Aamir Khan as the dedicated and strict father who trains his daughter enough to achieve the success in winning medals for India.
