Aamir Khan



I believe you can find inspiration in every moment of life. Today, on my favorite day of the week, relaxing on the couch with my mum and my coffee, scrolling through the television channels, we caught the last episode of Satyamev Jayate.

AamirKhan, the actor considered by most Indian film watchers as the intelligent one was just a regular talented actor for me. I was one of the very few people who found 3 idiots an absolute waste of time. I am also probably the only Bollywood fan who has watched dhoom3 in bits and parts. Don’t get me wrong, I admit he is a good actor and I applaud some of his work. But I could miss his movies without a skip of a heartbeat.

I made sure to watch episodes of his show every week during the previous season. Even though it was heavy and hard hitting, and sometimes caused me stress, I enjoyed it because it was real. This year I missed most of his episodes due to lack of time.

What he didn’t do for me through his movies, he did through his show. He touched my heart and won my respect through his research work, through his connection with people and through his desire to make difference in the world. 

To become successful and then to give back to people is an inspiration. He made his mark in the world of reel and then chose to make a difference in the real world.
Through the medium of television, he touched sensitive topics that have infested society and presented solutions to heal those areas of life. He gave like-minded people a platform to work together in the process of healing.

You might say that it will take more than just one motivated man and one television show to bring about change, but I believe that one man and one show are enough to energize the light in all of us to shine a little brighter.

We all have that light of goodness inside us, and Aamir Khan helped me discover that light again. I had lost focus on goodness and love somewhere along my path and today I understood that. We all have that power to give back to the universe and to touch a life or two around us causing a therapeutic domino effect in our worlds.

Aamir khan says that through love and goodness all problems can be healed. 

He plants the seed of goodness in people’s minds and revisits to water the seeds.

I salute you Mr. Khan! More power to you and your team to create waves where you have made ripples.

Today’s episode was called ‘a real man’ #arealman, and I must say, it was definitely hosted by a one.

  1. Applause for furthering his cause. Call me a coward that I didnt watch a single episode for the fear of breaking my heart and crying upon seeing the grim realities that he provokes us to see.
