I have seen his shows and he did great work for humanity.
By taking million of rupees for the show ,can he stand same corner Edhi Sahib no , commercial world.
I feel sorry for people like you. You will not hesitate to denounce any good deed by an Indian, no matter what benefit it is bringing to the society. Nobody in the world can denies the exceptional work by Mr. Edhi who is tirelessly helping the nation totally ignored by its rulers. What Amir Khan is doing is bringing awareness to the people of India and Pakistan of their sick societies. Please watch some episodes of “Satyamev Jayate” and I am sure if you have any intelligence at all, you will never make such comments

I will be a good sign for muslim indian to show they are also same loveable indian like hundu indian
massage from Karachi-Pakistan
they were always lovable only irritating when they say We want special treatment because we pray differently:)
Bob you hit the bulls eye, all people are one.
There is no need to show anything. Muslims have held all levels of society including that of President of India.
If anyting is missing, it is the muslim vision to see equality and fairness.
Very well done Amir world needs people like you.
Pakistani actors and actresses should take some lessons from Indian counter parts
hope Amir’ effort helps the poor and the common man.
Great work Aamir.
please correct the fact, amir khan is fourth perosonality, third was shahrukh khan, he was on cover of Time, in Oct 2004.
I am Proud of Aamir Khan..a true Indian..
he went to the cover of Time and an editorial with Fareed Zakaria — the restored Editor in Chief of Time and CNN —– Not only front page but full cover up.
sharukh khan is third and amir khan is fourth , pl z correct Ur stats
He has a wonderful stage presence and a passion for fighting a war against ignorance. We wish him all the best.
Good effort Aamir Khan.
Love you Amir…
He leads by example and a true patriot.
India is proud of Aamir Khan.
India is blessed to have Aamir Khan, GREAT INDIAN, GREAT MUSLIM.
I am an Indian first and Muslim afterwards said Jinnah.
This is from Page 154. Secular and Nationalist Jinnah. By Ajeet Jawed.
can we borrow him to show the mirror to us… Pakistanis as he is doing for India…..please please, we need one Aamir Khan in Pakistan too.
Most important part is he dont rely on controversies to make fame. He relies on his tallent and hard work and is very sincere when it comes to work. He is also very secular in outlook. Only muslim personality who opened admitted that he is first patriotic indian and then a muslim. his quote “Religion is a part of your personal life and not your socio-political life” is highly inspiring.
Kanwaljeet i appreciate your comments and fully agree with you. He is really a great man
His (Amir Khan) quote “Religion is a part of your personal life and not your socio-political life”
This is his personal understanding…..which is away from the true Islamic teachings….and any practising Muslim shall not make such a statement.
Suffice to state that, things are between two extremes wrongs presently, ‘Taliban ideology on one end and Amir Khan (Bollywood-India) on the other end. How very interesting.
wonderful !!!
thoroughly enjoyed all episodes and very touched. great work
He is much more than an actor. India is privileged to have him.
AMIR is one of the finest actor. wonderful humanbeing ,deeply dedicated to social causes that no other person has ever done it. His each movie is a imprimateur of his excellence art work. when he tells a story he gives in abundance for the country. If india has produced few finest jewels in movie industires ,he is one of them.
I am not surprised. TIME magazine is running out of” cover’ topics.’ Recently on the cover it had a woman breast feeding his 6 year old son. That forced me to cancel subscription .It is now a grocery store tabloid devoid of any ‘class’. I hope magazine presented Amir K in a positive way.
the whole link is Fareed Zakaria is the Editor of Time, Aamir Khan is on the Cover of the Time, Time covers a lot of stories, and sometimes it fails to catch with the real Time for a good coverage. Sorry you cancelled the Time subscription, they will find some more of the same in their cover stories. Fareed restoration upon his apology tells it all — HOW FAST YOU CAN PATCH UP and be on COVER again.
he is best actor & social worker, i like his point of view.
I like one thing about Amir’s message on Satyamev Jayete that it all depends on each individual what change one can bring in his/her own attitude which leave’s positive impact on other lives too.
And he is equally loved on both sided of the border for his genius.
Agree entirely that great a great contribution that he has made through his program Satyame Jayate.
