I do apologize for not spelling Aamir's name correctly.You got me there.

Trust me I have no hidden agenda. I have been part of this forum forever and almost only right when I must. I am not against salaries but they should be reasonable. 3 Crores was a number that completely threw me off. We expect more from people like Aamir Khan who dare to touch the such sensitive subjects. With that kind of image if it gets down to money war with other actors then that seems extremely odd. He needs to prove himself to be a class beyond compare and in my opinion he will only be able to do it of he let's go the money aspect once in a while.

My comment would have been the same if it was Aamir or anybody else. Making profits for such a nice cause just seems very inappropriate and I can not come in terms with that.

I agree that there are scams with NGOs. This is one of the reasons I do not do much donations to organizations but instead reach out to individuals with need so I know my money is utilized.
I have nothing against Aamir. He has given great hits. It was a proud moment to see him in Oscars.

If I will try to watch this show I will only be thinking on how much money he is making and will not be able to get into the feel of this show and will do injustice to the show and the ideas behind it. I still wish this show was made with a selfless motto.

You still don't wish to focus on the money they are trying to GENERATE for social causes via SMS, donations and FREE online clicks!

3 crore according to you, is taken only to beat others. This is not a child's play that a star can come up and demand any amount of fee just to beat a bunch of rivals!😆 He is getting the fees for the work he did.

Other stars were not producers of the shows they hosted, nor did they work on its research, tie-ups with brands and different channels as Aamir Khan did! Aamir is both producer and host of the show, performing more responsibilities, he took more fees. That is it.

He gets his share of fees in ads, movies etc. only due to his value. Not because he whimsically ''demands'' it to cross his rivals or get some title!

You only wish to forget the amount of money you can help raise by answering the take action calls of this show and focus on money Aamir is REPORTEDLY making.

So some NGOs are scams, that implies SMJ is also along same lines. Neat!😉

Industry is a ruthless place. No one gets money just because they asked to get more on a personal whim! 😃

I love it when shows like this try to raise the awareness of common people about so many things happening around us.

I am against celebrities hosting these shows and making a ton of money with just bringing up people's sorrows. Amir Khan trying to look like a patriot and trying to do something nice for the country is just anothe celeb trying to make money.3 Crores per episode this is insane. The celebs like him who are so blessed with name, fame and fortune should come forward and make these shows for no wage in fact I think they should spend their own money promoting these cause.

As soon as I found that Amir Khan is getting this much money I am done watching this show. Just very against my principles. He is an actor. His tears seem fake. End of it I am sure he is only after his paycheck. I am not contributing my time or money into his show that goes towards his paycheck.

Please do not get me wrong. I am not agaist Celbes making money. Just not for this cause. Imagine how many victims can be helped with this amount of money every week. My heart truly goes out to all the Victims that are part of this show or not and do pray that the justice is done to every single one of them.

I watch Crime Patrol on Sony every week which also brings up such real life cases. It is great for awareness but alas no Amir Khan is hosting is so I am not sure if it is getting that kind of attention.

Power to the voice of commoners and happiness to all.

Dear Curious,
I think u haven't seen the first episode, SMJ team is donating alot of money for the cause.
And about his fees, if he was only bothered abt his paycheck he wud have accepted Bigg Boss years ago as it is u can earn 3 crores per epi without much involvement frm that show but he wanted to do something that was close to his heart. u have no right to say that all he cares abt is his pay check when he spent 2 years developing the concept, travelling to each and every part of India, inteviewing 100-1000 of ppl for one epi.
there have been numerous shows by celebrities in the past years but noone of them have dared to tread this path. He cares and he doesn't need to prove that he cares to the ppl who only care enough to find faults wid his efforts.
He is not a court or a politician, he can only try to bring about change by informing us about all that is happening, the real power as he said lies with us and if u think watching the show and supporting him is waste of time u r free to switch off ur tv when the show airs but again u wud have no right to blame the politicians, judiciary system or Aamir if nothing changes coz u mde no effort to support a good cause.
He is the producer of the show, all the money that went into researching came frm his account so if he's charging a hefty amount it isn't wrong.

Now after seeing all the people that are worthy of true sympathy you all want me to sympathize for Amir Khan, Poor him taking such a big risk and loose a few drops from his ocean of money.

Once again I have nothing against celebrities making money. What Salman Khan charges for Dus ka Dum or AMitabh for KBC is between them and channels. It is only the money making behind such a great cause is my problem.

If it is a completely non profit show then I am totally fine but if this is not true then I have a concern Also, people like Amir Khan should take the high road and do things for the society without attaching the money value to it.

U r confusing me now. So according to u if a celeb takes crores for an entertainment driven show its fine wid u but if a celeb takes crores for a show that actually has a potential to bring about a positive change in our society he is a money digger??? r u kidding me???
Why is Aamir being criticised for taking 3 crores for a show that is for a good cause ? when ppl love watching silly shows like "kya aap panchvi paas..." "KBC" hosted by Amitabh and SRK?? they too take huge amounts of money to do those shows.Now m not against either one of these celebs, its their life their decisions and their time. they can charge whatever they want, i as a fan wud watch Bigg Boss for entertainment and Satyamev Jayate to be part of the change. all i am saying is if its fine for others to charge crores for game shows then its fine if Aamir charges 3 crores for SMJ.
And Aamir.

And how can u be so sure that Aamir has a selfish motto behind SMJ?? u r conviniently overlooking the facts that annika shared with us, go to her post:
u wud know that he isn't just charging this much to fill his bank accounts, he has invested 2 years of his life to this show, he cud have done any other show and earned more than what he's gng to earn frm SMJ without investing a penny.
It all boils down to the fact that if u r here to criticize him u wud not care abt his efforts, his hard work and all the money that he invested to research each and every topic that he's going to discuss in the coming episodes. All u wud talk abt is his paycheck whether out of jealousy or simply to discredit him and his team.

Amir khan ig getting 2-3 carors because he deserves it.
Who would like to work for free...even NGO pay salary to their employees...He's doing a show which gives a social message nd creates awareness.
Is'nt it good tht he's not hosting some stupid dance or reality show...he could have received more for a reality show but he chose to make a good show.

Just look at the intention of the show rather than how much they earn. I mean he is producing this show, and if he wanted money...he would have taken everything that this show gives him (and trust me it would be more than 3 crore) but here he is just taking 3 crore and the money he gets from the show, he is going to give it to the charity, the organization that supports the cause of each episode. Isn't that enough for you? And besides why does it even matter how much he makes and the show makes? As long as the intention behind it is right, I am going to watch it.

@SMJ Fan

No one has called Aamir Gandhi or Anna Hazare or greatest humanitarian. He is being praised only because no film star ever did such a show and it is rare for mainstream channels to make a show on social issues - which is nonfiction!

No one else ever tried to combine so many languages, public and private partnerships (DD and STAR), or even put up screens in rural areas just to show people a show on social issues!No one ever combined fundraising with a talk/informative show!

Hence the praise. Otherwise Aamir is no father of the nation.

And why do people have problems with others praising him when they themselves haven't done anything?

It is rare for any filmy hero to do such shows or any mainstream channel to make such a nonfiction show and attempt to reach out to different strata in ways SMJ has!

I am sorry but its a typical Indian way of thinking , we are told we have low self worth so we should not ask for our apt renumeration and if we get excess we shd give in charity ..
I f social workers start to give away their earnings in charity .. they will have to depend on other social workers to run their house.
You are shocked at his renumeration beacause sorry to say u dont desrve to earn that much .. but aamir has put his self worth at 3 crores... for the one hour of the show and all the work behind it that he must have done. Who says people will not make money out of it all sponsors all channels will mak emoney .. so why not Aamir .. hazaron crore ke ghotale karte hain log and janta sits silent. One person stands up to cleanse the society be it Anna or Aamir ... we have moral police ready to tear them apart.
This anger is not towards the maker of this topic ..but against societies way of thinking !
Social worker is not God .. he has a home to run .. and kids to feed and a lifestyle to maintain .
