After taking offense at Aamir Khan’s TV show Satyameva Jayate (SMJ) for “projecting men in a bad light”, several men’s rights activists are now taking up cudgels against his film Talaash. Anil Kumar, one of the founders of the Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), says, “We are protesting as we have been observing Aamir as an actor for a year now. He has portrayed anti-male agenda on his TV show and he has indulged in spreading male hatred in the society. The programme had only half-truths and was dangerous. The domestic violence issues were only one-sided. We have decided we are not going to watch Talaash or any of Aamir’s movies and not just that, we will also urge people to stay away it as well. Why doesn’t he take up real-life campaigns with other actors and really do something? We should also be against violence in movies and not just homes.” Adds Virag Dhulia, the head of Gender Studies at a men’s rights community center, “We are not against Talaash, but Aamir. We want to send out the message that he can’t portray a negative image of men. We had provided SMJ with statistics and evidence but they were not shown. Celebrities have social responsibility and they should watch what they say. So far, 12-15,000 families have boycotted the film and we will do this for all his movies until he apologises publicly to all men in the country. If he can demonise men, then what is the problem in apologising?”
Satyameva Jayate is a brilliant tv show on star plush tv chanals.
Aamir Khan’s best tv show…..
In India A girl can harass you blackmail you and extort and spoil you but men can't do anything even if men has been able to win his case. How you will get back those years of your life which has been spoiled? And that's what the issue most people are trying to highlight. One may not agree but don't shoot the idea without thinking on it. No one is saying girls should not have right to protect themselves but it should not mean that by depriving men's right. Let's have the level playing field for everyone.''
Aamir has shown all false data and show was fabricated with full of lies.
It was a fantastic show by Amir Khan & was a real eye opener for we Indians.
