Aamir Khan emerges as one of the 100 most influential people

Bollywood star Aamir Khan has been featured on one of the seven special covers of the Time magazine listing the world’s 100 most influential people.
TIME Magazine has revealed their ‘TIME 100’ issue which includes its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The publication marks the 10th year that the magazine has put together the special issue.
This year, there will be seven separate cover portraits of the honorees who according to Time, “reflect the breadth and depth of our list, each one profiled inside-as is our tradition-by an equally luminary voice.”
The seven portraits include Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot while advocating for girls’ rights, hip-hop artist Jay Z, Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, Rand Paul, the first-term Kentucky Senator, inventor and entrepreneur Elon Musk, Li Na, the Chinese tennis phenom, and Bollywood star Aamir Khan.
The covers will vary internationally, but US newstands will feature four different versions. Each issue will contain all seven portraits inside. Renowned photographer Mark Seliger created the covers.
Aamir Khan, 48, who wins praise from composer AR Rahman, “has been chosen for using his influence to raise social awareness in India.”
“In a world of false diplomacy and evasiveness, Aamir is a straightforward man,” writes Rahman noting, “He uses his gifts as a charmer to give his audience the most bitter of medicines. Hypnotised, we take it without complaint.”
“Aamir has started a movement that will help change the world in which Indians live. Jai ho!” adds the Academy Award-winning composer.
