Aamir meets Chief Minister Gehlot to campaign against female foeticide

Superstar Aamir Khan today met with Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to discuss his plea for the speedy trial of female foeticide cases highlighted on his new TV show Satyamev Jayate. Mr Gehlot has agreed to Aamir's request of a fast track court to resolve all pending cases.

Aamir will explore 13 different social issues on the show and said: I want every Indian to see the show and say - I will not do this wrong…or allow anyone else in my family to do this wrong.'

The first episode of Satyamev Jayate, which aired on Sunday (May 8), featured the story of a sting operation conducted seven years ago by two Jaipur based journalists to expose increasing female foeticide cases in four states - Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Coming Up: Satyamev Aamir says, we the people

Actor Aamir Khan's debut TV show, Satyamev Jayate, received overwhelming and mostly positive feedback after the first episode. He met the press at home in Mumbai, and said that to fix a flawed system, the people who make it up must be sensitized.

"Don't blame the administration, don't blame doctors, don't blame others - blame ourselves," said Aamir.

The first episode of Satyamev Jayate focused on female foeticide in India through case studies of women from Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Ahmedabad.

What we need is introspection, said Aamir. He confessed to being overwhelmed by the number of messages from viewers.

As people jammed Internet traffic rushing to respond to the first episode, the show's official site crashed just minutes after the end.

Happy Mr. Khan talks about the success of the show.

The show also occupied the top five trends on Twitter. Even before Aamir could wrap up the episode, 2,254 tweets were notched up.

Aamir has three children himself: a son and daughter, Junaid and Ira, with first wife Reena, and five-month-old son Azad with present wife Kiran. Azad was born via a surrogate mother, and his parents were widely saluted for not hiding the fact from an all too judgmental public.
