"Dil pe lagni chahiye yar, dil pe lagegi to baat banegi"
Says Amir Khan. Yes, so very true isn't it?
Things matter to us only when they touch our heart.We don't care about anything happening around us unless it is related to us. I Just watched Amir Khan's new TV show called "Satyamev Jayate". It is a really a beautiful concept. Discussing the social causes, victims telling their stories and finally the solution to the problem.
I guess it is only a few bollywood stars who are actively involved in charity. Only few names like Amir Khan, Amitabh Bacchhan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan etc. While in Hollywood, most of the stars are actively involved in Social causes for example, Angelina Jolie,Bradd Pitt, George clooney, Miley Cyrus,Justin Bieber, and many more.

I think that it is their responsibility to give back something to the society which gives them so much of love and affection.There is so much to do but these actors give back so little to the society. They seem to be furthering their own or their childrens careers. Why are they so self absorbed? We also hear people buying the ipl teams for crores and crores of rupees. Then why they cant donate some?
"Satyamev Jayate"
How many of you know that this phrase appears on every rupee, every currency.
-Very few people must have noticed this.Even fewer must have understood its meaning. It means that "truth alone triumphs(wins)". This phrase reminds us that we are using our money only for the sake of truth and not for any bad deed.
And today we need a tv show to remind us of this?
This attempt is really nice. But I think that people will watch it for few days then forget everything about it.
What do you think?
Amir Khan has been working for social causes in a unique way.
I remember a movie "Taare Zameen Par" It was really wonderful and discussed the problem of dyslexics (children with learning disorder). Another movie "Three idiots" which discusses the problem of youth.Hats off to Amir Khan.
