Kamaal R Khan, Taslima Nasreen take on Aamir Khan
Mr Perfectionist’s Satyamev Jayate has two more haters joining in the fray
While most people accept that Aamir Khan’s television debut Satyamev Jayate has noble intentions irrespective of the fact that they may or may not have liked the show; actor-producer Kamaal R Khan aka KRK and writer-activist Taslima Nasreen have taken to social networking to express their antagonism. Not that it matters very much or can effect the TRPs of the show, it is amusing to see how a few people are gaining attention by running Aamir down.
KRK, who considers himself an expert on what works and what doesn’t and everything else in between has predicted that the show will not be successful. In a rage he took to Twitter and spewed venom, as if he is in some way being blamed for something deadly serious. He said, “Again i m saying tat #SatayamevaJayate is bigger flop than SRK’s panchvi pass. U ppl just wait n watch.” He added, “Trp of #SatyamevJayate was 0.35 means all time biggest flop show.” Explaining his logic, he states, “How can any clever person expect a show like #satyamevjayate to work in India where ppl kill ppl on the roads in public n nobody says a word.”
Taslima Nasreen’s satirical take on the show seems somewhat more justified, however bitter she may sound. Expressing her dislike for the show, she tweeted, “From now on film stars should talk about social problems on TV. Everybody will listen to them. Ppl don`t listen to human rights activists.” She sarcastically added that “Feminists have been talking about female foeticide and its dangerous effects for decades. Ppl have learned about it today from star plus.”
Somewhere along the way there is a great deal of that well-known sentiment, ‘sour like a bad grape’ coming in, we feel. After all, both KRK and Taslima have faded somewhat from public perception and every now and then find the need to attract the spotlight. Wethinks rather than focussing on the negatives people like them should look at the possible change this show might bring to the lives it touches.
Would you pay attention to these rantings?

Hello amir sir, we all today watched your show its ralley rocking.A good start has been made by you sir in which i would also like to be a part of it, a small change in our thinking can bring a bigger change in our society and that will become the motto of every common man through your show which will lead to happiness every where. Every human being knows what is right and what is wrong but still some cruelties rest around us so together we can and we will erase it. satyamev jayate

satayamevjayate is an amazing show. some people are aginst the show i am realizing from the comments. i think though he is charging 3 crores for the show but at the same time i am seeing a lot publicity about the show even in small town. atleast he is comming forth to talk over the problems, we see people(who have not faced any such problems) have to do nothing with such problems.they have no responsiblity for society. those who are critizing this proramme should accept amir ‘aapse nahi hua wo amir ne kiya’

KRK and Taslima Nasreen deserve Ekta Kapoor’s serials and news channel that sensationalize news.

Its quite non sense to talk abt such a noble attempt by the perfectnist.They are really jealous of his success.Every Indian likes this show and it wil be the biggest reality show ever.

India is bit nomadic, they like Khans, it is well understood? They can never understand books, if only they read books, could they understand writers? Khan virus is too bad.

Writers are too activists, let us not bring Tasleema alone, all Gyanpeet writers or international acclaimed writers are real soul of India. To compare the same with a TV show, is really no-where. May be TV is for publicity and Film stars shine too in the publicity. But then where are those voices written in books, have they been highlighted ever before public? Is it fair at all? Who will tell writers have not been a revolutionary at all. We need to respect all genius of our society, certain thing may gain popularity, but if voices of writers go unheard or unclaimed, one can really pity the media and society too. Film stars take seat everywhere, and their fans including the media stand by, but who cares for the writes who are awarded and even given Gyanpeeth awards ? The Books are also mirrors of society. I agree with Taslima on many grounds hefore we debate on star and star plus popularity – suffering does not galore in midst of publicity and stardom, as street people are never invited in Rasjtrapati Bhavan or a palace.

Had this been a show presented by other stars, then it would have got a complete let down. Aamir khan knows how to play around with emotions because he is damn good entertainer. He succeeded in his acts, however, system would not change just by one letter to the PM or CM supported by people. there are already 2 million cases pending and there is huge deficit no. of judges post and how many judges would give judgement on fast track, ONLY GOD KNOWS! Yeh hai India meri jaan!!

Theek hi bola hai, Kamaal R Khan aka KRK and writer-activist Taslima Nasreen No TV channels dare to interview or bring in Tasleema but a film star for his sweet face get promotion and that too a male star when talking on women issue. In real life, have the actors like SRK, Salman or Aaamir faced any bad consequence in life like Tasleema. First of all, give social activist a chance, it is they are the mediator in public life. Only women can handle woman issues well, men should know this.
