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.
