Aamir Khan says he would have been extremely surprised if he didn’t receive brickbats for the issues he highlights on his debut TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate’. The actor-filmmaker is convinced about what he is doing and is totally unapologetic about raising the issue of malpractices in the medical profession, thereby upsetting an umbrella body of 21 medical institutions.”I have absolutely no intentions of apologising because I have not done anything wrong,” Aamir said. After raising concerns over female foeticide, dowry and child abuse, Aamir took it upon himself to shake up viewers and awaken them to the existence of irregularities in the country’s healthcare system. He brought issues like cut practices, unethical medical practices, and commission demands to the fore and presented live examples of people who could have been cured with simple medicines but were advised by doctors to undergo surgeries, robbing them of precious money. This ‘exposure’ has landed Aamir in the bad books of the Indian Medical Association (IMA). But he does not fret. He denied the accusation that he insulted the medical profession. However, he is happy with the positive response from the medical community as well as youths who aspire to be in the profession.
