WHO’S THE HERO?

-

One man who is not happy with all the attention Aamir Khan is getting for his TV show is Rajasthan Minister of State for Health Raj Kumar Sharma, 38. After the first episode of Satyamev Jayate forced Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to invite Khan to Jaipur on May 9 and promise action on female infanticid­e rampant in his state, Sharma told people at a rally in Karauli, “For Aamir, female infanticid­e is a matter of entertainm­ent, he charges Rs 3 crore for an episode and has admitted that he is an entertaine­r and not an activist.” He also said: “I am the real hero because I have been going from village to village to sensitise people about it.” Ah. Perhaps a local channel could offer the minister a similar show? Possibly at the rate of Rs 3 an episode.
