Rewriting an important bit of what I wrote

"Aamir is a professional and deserves to be paid for his work, but there are many professionals who do their work for charity free or at nominal costs - teachers who teach in slums, lawyers who offer pro bono services to the needy, carpenters/builders who volunteer hours to habitat for humanity - if an average Joe can take a huge pay cut or work for nothing in the name of charity - why can't a wealthy man like Aamir Khan drop his fees for charity."

That way many people like peace corps and other volunteers are not doing "charity" they are simply being responsible citizens raising awareness.

I don't have a problem with him getting paid. But don't raise him on a pedestal as if he is doing something out of the pure goodness of his heart. The fact remains that money and ego are huge driving forces.

The diff. between silent charity and public awarness..

they have their crdibilities if the PURPOSE is to help ppl and not indulge in ur ego.

But i share something here, I did begged money at Auckland traffic signals wearing Gujarat earthquakes 26 jan 2001 and boxing day tsunami 2004.. awarness hi-viz jackets and got donations from 10 cents to 20 dollars from commuters. When i counted the money after a days hard work.. it was much less than I already donated..

The team leader than said.. my friends,, its not abt the money in ur buckets but its the awarness and goodness of Kiwi ppl that they do feel like donating for something happened in India.

On a personal level I cant tell any1 other than my wife how much i donate.. but that was awarness project where i put cause b4 my ego. 😊

NOW, If I m a celebrity .. like Aamir.. I wud def. put forward my name.. so that ppl take notice. Awareness. Why was BigB chosen for "do boond tikka" to rid of polio. The same reason they get paid Crs for doing commercials. They reach out to public.

The question is motive then. Salman's "being human" is a slap on his face.. coz hez worst than animal. He killed homeless person drunk driving , he beats up women like no 2moro and he breaks the rule of not killing endangered species. If hez human.. he got to do his time in jail first.. then learn how tough is being human.

Aamir ko khyu gaali dena? Coz he wants his image? well, I dont think his image needs any makeover. I heard here from some members that know all abt India;s problems.. no need for aamir to remind them. 😆 I mean how many of u have ever heard of "2 fingers" test for rape victim women? Oh yeah, police and courts r dirty words in India.. but doctors? They treat rape victims as if forensic science tests.. and they r scared to go to courts to standby their findings.. so they harrass the victim and wanna get rid of them from their hospitals? Well, how many of u can say.. yeah that happened to me, or my family member or some1 who i knew?

Awareness. Aamir took huge punga with medical association.. they always hated this program.. coz they thot they r next to God.. as a proffesion and ppl trust them blindly.

The thing is we r talking this issue on internet.. that means we got the previlage of education and material world. What wud be the plight of those who have none of this.

As Aamir endorsed 'one standard procedure" for all rape victims thru out India.. so that victim gets her health as a priority, evidence is collected and support group.

Do u think nobody is listening? Watch for the results.. even if 10 rape victims get justice and 10 more doctors know how to examine, 10 more cops learn to handle the case and 10 more judges order the cold cases to open..

Well, job well done! In a country of 1.3 billion we may not feel the effect dramatically.. but some lives may have been changed for better. And in reply Aamir has more enemies, and few more crs. He can earn as much for doing a 3 day shoot commercial.
