Aamir Khan has been featured on one of the seven special covers of the Time magazine listing the world's 100 most influential people.

Billed as a film star and activist by the magazine, the Bollywood actor and host of the television show 'Satyamev Jayate' has been profiled by world celebrated music composer A.R. Rahman.

In a glowing profile of the actor, A.R. Rahman writes much about Aamir's sense of social responsibility and lauds his effort to make blockbuster movies that tackle themes of poverty and education. Terming his TV show 'Satyamev Jayate' - part journalism and part talk show, that confronts India's deepest social ills, from sexual abuse to caste discrimination, Rahman praises Aamir for "showing the courage to ask hard questions".

"In a world of false diplomacy and evasiveness, Aamir is a straightforward man," writes Rahman.

Further adding, "He uses his gifts as a charmer to give his audience the most bitter medicine. Hypnotized, 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.

This is Aamir's second TIME cover.He had earlier been the focus of a cover story 'Khan Quest' in the Asian edition of the magazine in 2012 (Read News).
