Great work Mr. Khan
Aamir Khan is one of the hugely popular
actors. Over the last two decades he has acted in some spectacularly popular
movies. In the meantime he has also consciously sought to use his popularity to
focus on issues that matters to common people, interestingly on popular platforms,
and it has worked. Worked very well indeed!! The other day i was watching Sathyamev Jayathe, the issues related to
water was handled in a manner that made common people aware of the problems and
it was done sensitively without pontificating.
I must add i haven’t watched all
the episodes since last few weeks i have been travelling, and had to spent most
Sundays on pressing issues (including Derby!!) but have watched some episodes for
instance the one on alcohol related problems (also pesticides). Aamir Khan must be aware that his program is
popular and is taken quite seriously (it is unprecedented in Indian context)
and therefore shouldn’t have resorted to cheap tricks of including “celebrities”.
Though i am not against sale of
liquor but promotion is unacceptable, of course there are rules against these
but they circumvent it through surrogate ads like ‘sodas’. Undoubtedly it is
unethical. Indeed after this episode articles
start surfacing about the program being not very popular, as expected liquor
lobby have dropped the biscuits for journalist poodles. Crude woman says “aaj bhushan kal vibhushan
parso kulbhushan!!”. Welcome to the world of wonderful Indian muslims...made just as ordered!!
