23 October 2013

The second season of Aamir Khan’s TV show Satyamev Jayate is finally underway. The chat-show based on social issues was launched last year and its second season was to be telecast mid-this-year. However, Aamir got busy with the shoot of Dhoom 3, that got delayed and consequently Satyamev Jayate also got pushed. Now, sources say that the research for the next instalment has started and the show is likely to be aired in January next year. 

“Aamir will be promoting Dhoom 3, which is releasing in December and working on his show simultaneously,” adds a source. Satyamev Jayate was aired on Sunday morning and simultaneously cast on Star Plus and Doordarshan. The show stirred up a hornet’s nest by touching upon sensitive subjects like child-abuse, female infanticide and domestic abuse.

Thanks to the show, Aamir was featured on the cover of Time magazine for using his influence to raise social awareness.
