Aamir Khan on Time Magazine: The 100 most influential people

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has been featured on the cover of Time Magazine. The actor appears on one of the seven special covers of the magazine listing the 100 most influential people in the world.

A. R. Rahman, who has worked with Aamir on several movies, including the Oscar nominated Lagaan, was all praise for the actor “Aamir has been chosen for using his influence to raise social awareness in India. In a world of false diplomacy and evasiveness, Aamir is a straightforward man. 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!”

  • @remotecontrol Copy and paste is a wonderful tool to have but in future dont copy garbage and paste it on here to just be praised by this pile of rubbish known as ‘Damnnn…!…’.
    No surprises to see you 2 twins sticking together and I notice how this ‘ruler’ which I cut in half afew weeks ago are all back together on the same day…! ;-)
    Its gonna be fun, let me sharpen my pencil real good as Im gonna slowly but surely cut to shreds this wooden ‘ruler’ that belongs to either one of you or both of you losers…! :-P

  • The haters remeber the name Amir stars with “A”. That is “ekka”, which is much more than self proclaimed “badshah”.

  • @Ahmad – What Aamir has just started, SRK has already completed. This is Aamir’s first list. Whereas SRK was making it such lists a decade ago! Aamir Khan can only play catch up!

    @Navin – Who says I oppose social change? SMJ was just a show and not the first attempt by any celeb to do something for country. Even before Aamir was born actors like Balraj Sahni, Sunil Dutt were into actual grassroots activism. And SRK himself has been honoured by Yale and UNESCO for his philanthropy and social work.

    @Raj – Parveen Babi, Aishwarya Rai and SRK have featured on TIME cover years before Aamir. He is not the first Indian actor to grace its cover. Check your facts.

    @Sachin – Yes Aamir canot be compared. He can only try to catch up. He has just started what others have long completed. And he is just invited to dinners when dignataries come to India whereas SRK has been honoured especially by Governments of Switzerland, Morrocco, UK, Malaysia, South Korea, France with their highest civilian honours. Special events are organised to honour him. He does not tag along like a guest. So you’re right. There is NO comparison between the two stars!

  • @Deepu don’t know why u r debating with everyone here.i think u r upset that Srk is not in this list but read carefully above that this list is about the 100 most influential people of the world not India.Trust me when the list of 100 most influential people of india will release then Srk will be definitely there maybe at 100th spot.lol

  • srk was all over magazines n got various awards only due to his PR. A common man in India will never believe in srk capability as much as Aamir n Salman. So wake up srkians unless its too late. Srk is such a person who clashes with a certain actor, gets ss booked with using stardom of a star whom srk does not see eye to eye n now he uses that certain actor (whom he had clash on diwali) to book his upcoming movie as a producer. So where is power of so called Badshaah, king khan or any morals or ethics. So it clearly shows how greedy this man is. I bet in future he will use Shirish Kunder too if he sees his business benefits not humanity.

  • Instead of congratulating aamir khan you ppl r dragging SRK here. Why u ppl r so worried abt SRK. For u he is self proclaimed and small star n all then why this jealousy ?. If indicine post any actors article here, be it salman, amir, hrithik, akshay, ajay or rambhr, SRK’s name will come here automatically. That means salman + ammir + hrithik + akshay + ajay + rambhir = 1SRK

  • @navin
    this copy and paste are scertified resourses to like you who want to deny the supremacy of the king of acting the legendary srk
    no matter what you say you are gullible dumbfaced green headed jerk

  • Navin I think u r going Mental months before the release of ur sallu’s movie…
    First u cal me navin n now sum ruler..

  • Hrithik….i think u talk sensible…
    But I waz wrong.
    U shd knw screen wars r between producers….in jthj yash raj wer involved n in ce utvs are involved…
    N shahrukh dont need to rely on ajay whoz tezz n himmatwala wer epic movies…!!
    U shd hav a wake up cal foh urself…instead of xpecting foh oders…

  • that’s great another news for Aamir haters to show their jelousy against Aamir.
    its good that his work is being recognised by an international magazine but whether he is in list or would not, he is definitely living in hearts and mind of people who are loving him or being influence by him and one thing is sure a person who is loving Aamir or at least not hating him having some sense abt an art and know what the means of cinema stands for he is the true magician that he having wonderful movies in his kitty on which he, his fans and Hindi film industry can proud like 3 Idiots,RDB,TZP, JJWS, AAA, Sarfarosh,Lagaan,QSQT,DCH,Earth-1947 (& for me Talaash is also in list) etc and one thing should be noted that all the movies which i mentioned are different from each other and having cinema at its best at their respective zoner,
    he is the one person who has not been tagged for a perticular zoner hero, or named with prestigious banner like Yashraj,kjo etc or working again & again with same director, he is a class himself,
    remember most of director given their best with Aamir like Rakesh Ompraksh Mehra(RDB), Ashu(Lagaan), Raju(3 idiots though all raju’s film are great), Farhan (DCH), Deepa Mehta(earth), Rajkumar Santoshi(AAA), John Mathew(Sarfarosh) are examples one of those director who made other movies with different actor and some did with big named actor too but not matched the level of work which they did with Aamir or i must say they failed to creat magic that the power of this man.
    nd by making show like Satyamev Jayate he shown path to others that how to use Big platform like TV at its best level, some arguing that others also did the same, i agree but no one takes the risk like Aamir to come up at this big level and producing this himself too make him stand tall and apart from his contemporaries.
    one work to describe him “Respect”….

  • @deepu whatever srk achieved or in your sense already completed & Aamir is just following him i have answer for u,
    -Aamir is one of the most trusting actor of Indians and others too,
    -he having many path breaking movies in his list which are tagged cult classic and no need to me describe those which i mentioned earlier in my previous comment while srk having only 2 (DDLJ,CDI) for me swades and Mnik was good but not great or classics.
    – srk is more rich, powerful and big star than Aamir but not as great actor, thinker, sensible and loving which Aamir is. and only Aamir having guts to refuse 150 cr Ad deal which not upto the standard of Aamir made for himself, does srk having these guts Ans no. “he is greedy and self aclaimed no. 1″
    and las but not least after getting so much recognisation all over the world & awards he is still having Padam Shri while Aamir got Padam Vibhushan in 2010 (a step higher than Padam shri” and more valuble too.
    many times haters say Aamir can’t do role like rijwan khan, hrithik did in KMG so he is not great like srk or hritik actor, losers he doesn’t need to do this. he is the most sensible actor he doesn’t need to do different at the time of showing emotion, excitement,anger,laughing, frustration etc, he doing all of these with much ease and very efficiently like we people showing generally in our real life.
    so Aamir is always great than srk whether u agree or not.
    @remotecontrol who cares what srk got or not just stay away from Aamir or other article.

  • @soroop Your history here suggests you are a bigot of sorts or at best a moronic ape. You ridicule Aamirs efforts on TV last year by saying its been done before. What does that mean then? If its been done before then does it mean it cannot be done again and better delivered to a wider audience. You are a moron- if Aamir can deliver his message to an even wider pool of people then respects to him for doing so, why ridulicule him? You ridicule him because you are happy with the status quo- in my eyes that makes you a snob or worst a bigot. You decide what you are but dont come back citing examples of others who have come before delivering the same message- clearly that message has been diluted so much over time that it has muddled your barbaric mindset and you now think along the lines of 4th century barbaric savages…! :-P
    India needs Aamir, the people love him, only people who need you are srkian savages like ‘Damn…!…’ and ‘remotecontrol’ who look sane compared to a masked bigot like you.

  • @remotecontrol aka @Damnnn… aka @Damnnn…!… aka @ruler:-
    When you change your ID you could atleast try to be smart or canny in disguising yourself but I guess it must be a force of habit to hit the ‘RETURN’ key everytime you write down 3 or 4 words…! :-P
    I know you 3 losers sleep in the same bed, you 3 psychos know you sleep in the same bed and people here know you 3 asswipes sleep together on the same bed. I dont wanna know how or why you split up and became 3 losers as opposed to being a solitary loser but Im going to address you as One in future as to save time.

  • @Deepu my comment directed FAO soroop was ACTUALLY intended for you but nonetheless you both are idiots and whoever can benefit from my comments then its job well done on my part. ;-)

  • @remotecontrol Interesting garbage sorry I meant facts you’ve highlighted. So what you basically saying is that Shahrukh was outbidded on those 21 awards he couldn’t buy sorry again I meant win… Hmmm I guess not everyone can buy National Awards but buying some mickey mouse awards in some tin pot republic is much easier to bribe corrupt officials. :-P
    Well done Srk and well researched ‘Damn…!…’ sorry I meant ‘remotecontrol’…! ;-)

  • @remotecontrol Hey Einstein grab yourself a calculator. Dont know how you calculated Srks success ratio but if you apply the same stupid formula to Aamirs record then wouldn’t Aamir smash Srks 91% unbeatable record as you foolishly put it???
    I think I did ask you nicely earlier on mr ‘Damnnn…!…’ to not to copy and paste garbage from ‘xzone’s’ website because he has now really made you look like a buffoon with hot air between the ears…!

  • Aamir khan show satyameva jayate is good ?, i dont think so. I saw 1 episode. It was abot child abuse. In the episode 1 guy is comming and saying he was raped by lot of mens when was abt 8 or 9 years old. A women saying she was raped by her uncle in her childhood. They are saying in national television! Atleast channel ppls shud covered their face while showing them. Victims might agree or probably might got paid then also i dont think channel shud show their face coz it may affect their future. Even tv news channels covers victims face while showing these things. For the sake of genuinity satyameva jayte show shudnt have had done this.

  • @ Soroop: Ask your SRK uncle not to slang poor watchmen, infront of media and also to disrespect Indian Flag.

  • SRK fans are so unsecure, whenever any article is written about SK, AK, Akki, Ajay, Ranbir they start pinpointing faults.

    Last ATBB of SRK is KKHH, in 1997, that too SK had major role in it.

    Even Ranbir is ahead of SRK now.

    Come Eid, Ouatim 2, Akki will show SRK his aukat.

  • @Damnnn….!….: : I may agree for JTHJ however not for CE. Now dont say UTV is calling all the shots for CE and Red Chillies (srk company) is acting as mute spectator despite co-producers. That is the reason I specifically mentioned SRK as a PRODUCER and not as an actor. I wont say anything about CE clash with OUATIM2 (though Ekta had announced release date of OUATIM2 an year ago) however using AJ devgan movie for booking SS for CE, this is ridiculous, I have nothing against srk but these cheap tactics which force audience like me to bring his real face.

  • @soroop Are you kidding me? You imbecile- why dont you try for second and comprehend what would have been goung through the mind of the victims who went infront of the nation to tell their story instead of worrying about your already corrupt and perverted mind. You sicko- its always about ‘me, me and me’ and never about anybody elses feelings. Those victims would now have had new family members like children, work colleagues and neighbours who may never have known that someone so dear and close to them was a child abuse victim. My god how do you think they would have felt knowing all this for the first time on Television? The victims themselves are brave souls, I or we the nation can never say or do enough to perhaps ease their pain but the very least we can do is comfort them by showing solidarity and not shunning them away to a dark enclosed room. People like you will never change, you can condemn Aamir for tackling a problem head on but you dont want to know about our nations dirty laundry because it may upset your stomach during feeding time. Grow up and smell the coffee, the worlds not a nice place, especially when theres people like you in it with your bigotry views and self obsessed nature.

  • @remotecontrol Like I said grab a calculator and tell us all what Aamirs success ratio is please?

    Ok ‘Damn…!…’ maybe you can help your naive twin out and tell us now what Vidyas success ratio is please. Use the same crappy formula your half baked twin ‘remotecontrol’ devised/ used for Srk and dont manipulate the figures. ;-)

    Goid luck Einstein but I think you be surprised to see that Srks 91% success ratio is not all that successful as you boldly claimed my retarded friend ‘Damnnn…!…’
    :-P

  • @navin. Suppose u have been abused in childhood. U hve been asked to come in satyameva jayate. U might go coz aamir is the host and channel ppl will convince u in someway. U may feel brave to appear in the show at that point of time but later or after few years, u might probably regret coz ur a child abuse victim who appeared in national TV. There are lot of insensitive people in this world, they can make u or ur family members as a joke. OR later when u got married ur son might feel ashamed. The satyameva jayate show ppl and aamir khan know all these. They are not fools. Tell me one thing, what is the need to show victim face in the show, without showing face also they can do the show and pass the message and discuss abt it. Navin i dont expect sensible rply from coz ur like idiotic robot whose mission is to spread nonsense

  • @soroop : There is difference between srk n Aamir, u will never understand Aamir coz u r blinded by srk’s melting stardom. Do you know how many formalities a victim has to go through to appear on Media or Tv? Nobody forces them to appear n show their faces. Aamir wants audience to see the real life victims n feel their pain n empathise with them. Only people like u think of negativity even in a social cause. You will never appreciate such causes forget of supporting it instead u will hail srk if he shows an ugly pierced body with gay seduction !!!!
