Aamir Khan's new show Satyamev Jayate has become the talk of the town. Praise and criticisms are both pouring in. In this scenario, Tellychakkar.com decided to talk to actors and producers from the Hindi television fraternity and quiz them about what they felt about this experiment of launching a chat show on pressing social issues across multiple channels (Star Plus, Star World, Star Network, regional channels and DD). Anas Rashid of Diya Aur Baati Hum was extremely happy with the concept and said, "Kudos to Aamir Khan for bringing such serious issues, like female foeticide, to centre stage. We all know about it, but don't want to do anything. I hope Mr Khan's genuine presentation will compel people to give up their lethargy and do something about it. Time has come for a change. Did Anna Hazare not launch a huge movement to fight corruption?"
Gurmeet Choudhary (Punar Vivah) said about the show, "I have loved the show for its projection, narration and reach. We needed a brand ambassador as strong as Aamir Khan to strengthen the awareness and curiosity level. Because of his credibility as an actor, person and a maker, many more people made it a point to watch the first episode and none was disappointed. More people saw it. And an age old issue was noticed so hugely and Sunday morning is not the wrong time slot. A good show has the capability to create new prime time bands of their own. As for my personal feelings, girls are a blessing to the mankind in general."
Hmm…there is no doubt that Aamir has struck a chord with the masses. You may like his show or hate it, but certainly can't ignore it
