Aamir Khan is a versatile actor, film maker, social activist and a good human being above all. He has gained much fame, glamour and prosperity but at the same time he has assumed social & moral responsibility to return it back to the society in good terms. Talking especially of Aamir films when we talk about Jo Jeeta Vo Sikandar, Lagaan, 3 Idiots, Tare Zameen Par, Rang De Basanti, PK, Dangal and of course how can we forget the popular TV Series Satyamev Jayate, Aamir picked up those sensitive issues which remained usually untouched or unexplored before the society in terms of cinema and he dealt with those social issues in his TV program Satyamev Jayate which is already present in our society and our homes long back and still survive. His program on such critical issues gave light of awareness and when youth saw these true stories, victims, conditions and consequences, they came to know directly or indirectly that it is happening in our homes too. How Aamir grew his struggles and experiences that he has seen thus far, and how he has evolved into an actor, person and how his films create awareness among the people of society and create an impact too remain all about the scripting of this book. This book is not about the person; it is about the way of thinking and urge to serve something to society and take those brave steps which can be lethal too for an actor.
