Aamir Khan gets emotional at 'Satyamev Jayate' season 3 launch

28th August 2014

Aamir Khan launched the third season of Satyamev Jayate (SMJ) on wednesday with a quick recap on the various episodes which have aired previously.

The event started with an AV where the SMJ team had also revisited issues which aired in the previous seasons to take a dipstick on how the show has created awarness and spread light on various issues. They went back to meet families and took first hand reactions in the AV.

He shared that while shooting for SMJ, he has learnt a great deal about people, their problems and how they have had the strength to overcome it.

Aamir also got emotional while recounting one of the interviews he came across while doing research for the show.

"On the show, you see me speak to 8 or 10 people, 12 or 15 people. But during research I hear the stories of upto 100 people. The nature of the some of the stories is such that we are unable to have them on the show," he said.

As an example, Aamir cited a young woman who was raped and then set on fire. She spoke to the Satyamev Jayate crew from her deathbed in hospital. 

Aamir said, "We couldn't show you the interview, you wouldn't have been able to watch it. It was extremely difficult for me to see it."

Gulping down some water, Aamir continued, "I have seen many things that have had a deep impact on me. You feel helpless, you want to forget the show and concentrate on resolving the issue you are faced with at that moment. Emotionally, this journey has been very difficult for me."

The ace actor started and ended the event by saying "Mumbkin hain" - It's possible to bring about a change by only you and me.

The new season will go on air on 21st September and would have 6 episodes.
