Aamir Khan ignores conversation about Shahrukh Khan

Aamir Khan ignores conversation about Shahrukh Khan

Dost turning dushman is nothing new in Bollywood as it sets best example in this regard. One can remember that one upon a time the three big Khans of Bollywood, i.e. Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan used to be great fans, but circumstances put them apart from each other.

And now Salman Khan doesn't leave an opportunity to take on Shah Rukh but Aamir Khan loves to ignore him. The actor, who is set to make his television debut, avoided talking about Shah Rukh at a recent press conference.

Aamir's first ever television reality show, Satyamev Jayate goes on air from May 6. The actor is certainly kicked about the show on which he has been working since the last two years. Aamir at a press conference praised all his colleagues who made it big on the small screen.

He said, "I loved Amitabhji's Kaun Banega Crorepati, Hrithik's dance show. I haven't seen Bigg Boss but Salman's Dus Ka Dum. I enjoyed watching these shows." Aamir smartly avoided any opinion on Shah Rukh Khan's TV histrionics, be it the third season of KBC or even Zor Ka Jhatka, or Kya Aap Panchvi Paas Se Tez Hain?

Well, here it seems clear that reunion is no sooner happening!

satyzamev jayaate to come on 6th may at 11 pm on starplus

Satyamev Jayate" is Aamir Khan's first television project and the star says that the reality show will create history by becoming the first ever programme to go live simultaneously on a private channel and national broadcaster DD

"Satyamev Jayate" is Aamir Khan's first television project and the star says that the reality show will create history by becoming the first ever programme to go live simultaneously on a private channel and national broadcaster DD1.

"This is for the first time in the Indian history that a show will also be showcased simultaneously on national television channel DD1. Besides, the show will be dubbed in four southern languages - Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. This show is being launched on a large scale," Aamir told reporters Friday here at the launch of the show's promo song.

"Satyamev Jayate" will go on air on Star Plus May 6.

"I don't understand TRPs (Television Rating Points) and GRPs (Gross Rating Points). I have no idea how to calculate it! I don't care about TRPs. It is important to reach out to the Indian audiences. If viewers want to see, they will see or else it is up to them," added the 47-year-old.

Aamir feels that TV is a very powerful medium and added: "I had to make complete use of this medium. This is a baby step towards it."

"I cannot say I understand TV completely. I was earlier scared to go ahead with the project. I can only say I have made this show with complete honesty and without compromising on anything."

The promo song of "Satyameva Jayate" is a love song.

"Earlier, we were planning to compose a national song or like one anthem. Later, I realised, why am I doing this show? I have love in my heart for my country, like each Indian who love their country. Then we went with a romantic song. We thought, it should be a love song that reflects the love for my country and relate with each Indian," he said.

Composed by Ram Sampath and written by Prasoon Joshi, the song is sung by Keerthi Sagathia.

The show has got the famous "Ramayana" and "Mahabharta" slot - Sunday 11 a.m.

"I wanted to telecast my show on Sunday morning. I want each family to watch the show and connect with it. We have watched 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabarata' and it used to come on Sunday morning. The shows created a different atmosphere. I am not scared of the saas or bahus. My thought was 'Bharat jodo abhiyaan'."

"I am not attempting to change anybody's life. I don't have the strength to change anyone's life. When I speak about change, it's about changing myself. I am not interested in changing the world. Who am I to change anyone's life? I can only connect to them emotionally and empathise."

The actor spoke about everything, except the concept of the show and said: "I can't talk much about the show."

Aamir Khan's debut TV show plans Rs 6.25 crore promo campaign
Aamir Khan has earned the tag of perfectionist in Bollywood with his sheer hard work and dedication as this actor leaves no mark in making his work do the talking, whether it applies to his films or say his much-awaited debut Television show!

Considering the kind of benchmarks Aamir Khan has set as far his films are concerned, it seems he doesn't want to make any compromise for his debut television show as well.

The channel, on which his show Satyamev Jayate will be aired, had apparently blocked all the 2,000 slots for the broadcaster's promos in 27 hours -- totally valued at Rs 6.25 crore. It is learnt that while this is a one-day exercise, it's more than the money spent on any other celebrity-hosted show on any given day.

Although Aamir is known for the manner in which he markets his big screen projects, a source associated with the production said that the promo was his baby too.

Grapevine is abuzz, 2,000 promo slots from Monday to Tuesday, across all the broadcasters' channels, were booked for Aamir's show. The source said, "From these slots, if one were to translate the airtime into revenue, it's worth Rs 6.25 crore," adding that this is the highest ever for any star show.

We are eagerly waiting for the show, can’t resist anymore
