Aamir khan finds his young mentor in alia bhatt.

Close on the heels of reports of Aamir Khan
leading a team of about 1 lakh volunteers
today to villages for a Mahashramdaan,
comes news that Alia Bhatt is set to
accompany him. Khan, we hear, was
looking out for a youth icon who could
encourage the young generation to partake
in promoting water conservation across the
drought-ridden state of Maharashtra. For
the third edition of the event organised by
the actor's Paani Foundation, Aamir Khan
had urged college students to volunteer for
the event being held on Maharashtra Day.
A source tells mid-day, "Aamir was keen to
get a youth icon associated with the project
so that the initiative appeals to the young
generation. Alia was only happy to be part
of it. She will take some time off from the
shoot of Kalank to join him for the day.
However, Alia will return to the city by 2.30
pm to be part of promotions for her
upcoming spy-drama, Raazi." While the
event is set to be held across 75 talukas and
24 districts in Maharashtra, Alia Bhatt will
join the team for the proceedings in Latur.
In a bid to increase awareness about the
plight of farmers among city dwellers, Khan
hopes to engage the latter for the project,
says the source. "To fight water scarcity, a
persistent problem in villages in
Maharashtra, city dwellers need to interact
with farmers. Aamir hopes Alia will play a
role in garnering their interest. She will be
announced as the celebrity Jal Mitra for the
project." At the event in Latur, a chat show
that hopes to highlight the importance of
the youth in furthering the causes of the
foundation, is apparently planned. "The
show will be aired on a GEC channel. Both
the actors will also engage in physical
labour like ploughing."
