Aamir Khan's Satyamev Jayate TV Show

Post by KirKS »

cf_r2i;462087I received this in an email, Not sure if this is anti agenda or a Hindu hardliner acts. What did bother me is the funds are going to a business which seems to be questionable. Please don't kill the messenger (me) and take your own judgments.


cf_r2i;462088And today I see this message on that site so I myself confused:


The reality was that Humanity Trust was some fringe NGO, most likely a Muslim theme related one. I went to their site the very next day of episode and found that it was only a cell phone based contact info site.

What Aamir Khan showed was Humanity Hospitals from Paragana Districts of Poschim Bongo. They provide medical service. You can spot the difference if you go into SMJ website and look for NGOs.

Most Aamir Khan fans wouldn't like this post. But still..

Satyamev Jayate is a paid performance with a social theme by a famous Bollywood actor. He gets paid per episode. You can check out the production company and payment details yourself. I understand that "message" is important, but sometimes, the person giving the message, and his/her track record also matters. You might disagree with me, but read further.

The same actor also in his earlier paid performances on screen, went quite opposite to what he preaches in the latest TV paid performance. For instance, the latest preaching on TV was "think before you drink". I don't think anyone would argue strongly against the message. But was the same actor's on-screen performances walk this line of talk before? I can recollect Rang De Basanti, Raja Hindustani and 3 Idiots as three memorable examples, where the reel story was against the "think before you drink" preaching! Also, his home production launched his nephew, who actually went to court against a local government's decision to raise minimum drinking age limit.

Yes, I understand well the difference between alcohol use and abuse.

But isn't it a bit odd that when you earn lots of money over 2.5 decades, via paid performances wherein the "think before drink" was NOT followed, which of course would have influenced millions of youth considering your stardom, but now in your mid-40s come to preach on TV the exact opposite, in another paid performance?

I did not like that much, the yesterday's episode and it now seems that these episodes are now losing their grips. I sincerely wish,.. it should.

These kind of soaps in the first case,.. remain for the classes and not for the masses and hence it already loses the TRPs right there, holding a very limited audiences,...
and it becomes quite a challange to hold the viewers, to soothe producer's satisfaction in terms of money,... and such,...

IMO,... Yesterday's episode did not force and/or put any pressure towards NOT drinking, for buds and current youths,...but rather it said,.. drink in limits and it's ok, for once in a while,....yada yada,...
It also seemed that,...in Mumbai, it's allowed and hence most of the "peeyakkad" youngsters were brought in da audience !
I bet, after watching this episode some strict states like Gujarat / Rajsthn, where there are no legal showing up shops,.. the youngsters will now start drinking hiddenly,... and that only after,..due to watching that particular episode !

Hope, they will say the same tomorrrow, about that white powder,..... ( Like Clinton said,.. he was just smelling,..not smoking or eating,.... so,... not a big deal ! ) next will be about gentle rape and road-sided eve-reasing, arousing and seduction, under umbrella lip-lockings on marine-drives,.......and little bit teasing to even third party starnger girls in trains and trams,........it's just ok, once in a while,.....
and later small level of knives and stabs,.... not a big deal ! Forget about the tobacco and such,..... Who watch the 'Door-Darshan' and hence Ramdev's advices !

I wish, if they had brought the example of Salman killing the foot-path sleepers with his car while drunk,... yesterday,.. rather than Jawed saab,....
imo,....Sallu miyaan was needed on the stage !

There is nothing wrong in preaching. Even if 10% of youth take it seriously, it is good for the society.
An Actor says whatever S/he does on the screen is the demand of the script. He was playing a JNU student role so the beer drinking was to make it more realistic.

I did not like the last episode of though. They should have bought some alcohol manufacturer (Vijay Mallya?) like that pesticide episode who would claim drinking alcohol is good for health.

That would make some fun and more TRP.

I get the idea. If someone were to be a polyglot and was drunk, that is how the post would turn out ! :)
This forum is really cruel to those who are tipsy while posting. Requiring transation is the most cruel thing in the CoC.

[INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]July 8, 2012 --- Episode-10 is out ::





Subject :::: Dignity for all : ( Untouchability Episode )


For a country which has been independent for 65 years, it is a matter of shame that we have not yet shaken off the tyranny of caste-based discrimination. Countless people have to live in degrading conditions, children are unable to go to school, employment avenues are closed, and even education does not open bigoted minds. No measure of progress can be true unless the question of people’s equality is factored into it. And we can only be considered a progressive nation when we refuse to accept caste differences

I am not a Aamir Fan, but I see nothing wrong in a person using his/her position/influence/fame to spread a useful message.

I shall not even claim that he has learnt since his youth days and changed his opinion/actions as I do not know those. I have done things in my youth that I would not do today or even in youth if I was the same person in my youth as I am today. If I tell my son to not do what I did in my youth, I would not call myself an hypocrite, though some may do.
