Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan Saturday said corruption is an evil that every human being needs to weed out of his or her system to have a larger impact on the country’s progress.
He spoke during a session at Aaj Tak’s programme ‘Panchayat Aaj Tak’ here.
“How many people pay taxes honestly,” he asked the audience in response to a question, and added: “Those who do not pay taxes to the government are traitors to the country. Corruption is not prevalent in just Members of Parliament, but it is there in every human being.
“There is no point in changing our MPs every five years. Instead, we should first introspect and correct ourselves to improve the status of the country.”
Aamir, who hosts “Satyamev Jayate”, a show where he shares startling facts and figures about socially relevant matters, also said that “if we want to do something for society then we do not need to become a social worker nor do we need to make an NGO”.
The third season of his show is set to come up soon on Star Plus.

everybody is currupt for others. himself nobody aggry that he is currupt. but there is limit for everything and if u do over than limit so it is wrong and we all knows over shadowing personality and over acting of big mouth srk. he is most currupt actor in bollywood.
244 crore rs. fault was not hr’s cuz it was producer figure so producer of k3 is also currupt.
@Anand
Why do u guys always act so seriously??
That was just a joke!!!
Can’t u understand and then u are almost ready to fight…
@shaggy, hrithik fans want fox to promote bang bang more and now that srk will be promoting hny means hes not confident about it? LOL. HNY is another SRK masala film carrying huge hype and his last two (OSO & CE) broke all records – so whats there not to be confident about?
And you talk like SRK is the only actor who does promotions. Everyone does.
By your logic SRK also wasnt confident about Don, OSO and CE that he promoted big?
Couldn’t agree with him more. To make a change, we all have to change first.
Aamir has said absolute correct thing and its happen with everybody, as usual when we got a chance to save our money with whatever way, we did it. Its a harsh truth and even he also had done this some stage of his life, that’s why he said every human.
@babaji he said for human being as its nature of we humans, but I suppose you hoping he will promote alien like jadoo who may be being human for you as Aamir character is rumored he is alien in p.k.
@remote Aamir is talking about humans not pagalpurians dude. at least his pr not promoting 8packs in name of 10 pack abs like that as only srk had done this While Aamir had done this 6 year ago,hr and john already had, if you talking about age srk had 6 pack in 2007 so its not he started from 0 for this age, he worked for extra2
@anand I respect your opinion as you are saying right, but I think you misunderstand his comments, he want to say if you want to do something for society it doesn’t necessary as you be a social worker or have an NGO, you can do it in your own way.Why would Aamir degrade their contribution even in SMJ he is appealing to donate/charity for some NGO who are working in the field of respective episode topics.
@remotecontrol corruption exists in our king too..that’s why he buys awards and creates fake VFX abs..lol
Aamir is great actor with great human being we proud of u sir
Aamir is wrong in saying that there is corruption in every human being coz there is no corruption in our king and our king earned money by acting in movies and dancing in weddings but never did corruption
@nipun Yet u did care a couple of days ago when u have joined salman fans in rating meherbann better and praising how it and Tu meri were so great and got more views and now it is going to be BEATEN becuz unlike HNY and Indwaale, Manva was mainly released on 1 channel, now u dont care, what a hypocrite, ur no better than lallu fans……………….
@Sky, Dude, I have interpreted his statement a bit differently. I took the definition of a social worker in a formal way. He might mean everyone must not necessarily be a formal social worker to do things for society.
@Bulli, again u rock dude! I agree to you!
@hrithik:i don’t need to become salman or aamir…i am proud of what i am!!!
Btw,that comment was’nt meant to be taken in serious note but you did…
Industry: Aamir is the Best.
Public: Aamir is Best.
SRK: I am the Best.
SRK Fans: SRK is the Best.
Reality vs Fiction
Fantastic, every article on Indicine has a lot of fools reacting on SRK LOL. Because the fools know what the brand SRK means…..defeat, defeat and defeat for their favorite stars.
@trini
For once you right- nipun kumar is the dictionarys new definition of hypocrisy….
@babaji
Theres ‘wit’, theres ‘funny’ and then theres silly- sadly you fall under the latter as everything yo do here is just silly n damn right ridiculous like the way you play with kids in Jaadooland dressed up as the big blue Jaadoo etc etc
@sky + @anand babu
Love you guys immensely and its clear that from your understandings of something, interpretations n misinterpretations can easily happen….! Look at poor old babaji who said something out of humour but we all mistook it (maybe subconsciously) as being mischievous hence we bash him (though theoretically speaking we are now all pre-programmed to take all his comments as anti bhai/ Aamir due to his treacherous record of back stabbing)…!
Not just statements even figures can be misconstrued- Rakesh ji took a figure of 244 cr gross as being nett so told the world his movie collected 244 cr nett despite repeated attempts by his accountants that he was wrong…!
@sachin11
Maybe Aamir will bring up the topic of anorexia and warn not just teenagers but adults of eating proper nutritious food or else they can end up looking like the Skeleton Man….!
@Navin Bhai, love u my dear bro too. I think you are matching the standard of Bulli in terms of wittiness and humor! Can’t stop laughing!
But please spare 60+ year old unwise buddaji and let him have some breathing space. I started feeling sympathy for him ven though I know that he will reject my sympathy out of the affection for and dostana with a dressed-up blue Jaadoo Kumar of a different age group!!!
@Navin, Anorexia Nervosa?? lol! Seriously, a good topic for Satyamev Jayate! It will help the skeleton man as well as many youths as well!
@Babaji : Tum karo toh joke hum kare toh abuse, bashing, stupidity ?????
@anand babu
ThanxXx bro for the love n appreciation.
Im humbled by your words but sadly I cannot fulfil your request of showing leniency towards the buddaji- he deserves leniency about as much as ‘SSS DCBwaale’ deserves a spell check tool… It wont happen anytime soon…
