Life has completely changed for Mir since then. Everyone now calls him "Tyrion" and people have been queuing&nbsp;up to take selfies with him. Mir has already worked with Bollywood superstars like Salman Khan in the movie&nbsp;"Bharat".&nbsp;

''There was a winter&nbsp;festival in Pahalgam, I had a programme, Bollywood Director Imtiaz Ali took a selfie with me, and he shared it on his Instagram. That became viral across the world. And everyone said It's Peter Dinklage in Kashmir, and since I am here in Kashmir and Peter is in the US. I got offers after those pictures and I was shocked. They offered&nbsp;me a role in Bharat movie, and when I got to know the film stars Salman Khan, it was a dream come true. I am his big fan. And people on the sets called me Tyrion. Salman Khan picked me up in his arms in the movie scene,&nbsp;I was extremely happy,&nbsp;'' said Tariq Mir.&nbsp;

Mir dreams of travelling to the United States and meeting his Doppleganger Peter Dinklage. Mir also has not forgotten the days when people used to laugh at him due to his short height. And now Mir wants to change the people's perception of dwarfism in India as well as in Bollywood.&nbsp;

''I&nbsp;am 4'3 inches, at first people used to laugh at me&nbsp;and now they walk up to me asking for selfies and&nbsp;autographs, it makes me happy. Everyday people come to me. I got to work in Kashmiri serials. I worked with the Kashmir tourism department and with Delhi tourism. I had a lot of offers from these departments,&nbsp;'' said Tariq Mir.&nbsp;

The Jammu and Kashmir government also made an ad featuring Mir as Kashmir's own Tyrion Lannister in snow clad mountains&nbsp;of Gulmarg to attract more tourism.
