Indian actor Aamir Khan has become the third Bollywood star to feature on the cover page of Time magazine after making it to the September 10 2012 Asia edition’s cover.
Khan’s photo, along with the caption “Khan’s Quest,” appears as the magazine highlights the Bollywood actor’s popular television show “Satyamev Jayate.”
The 13-episode show became hugely popular in India and also attracted audiences across the world as Khan discussed and covered sensitive social issues plaguing the country.
The show’s popularity also spread to social networking websites, as the star evoked a range of emotions as he dealt with the sensitive topics.
Khan becomes the third Indian film personality to feature on the magazine’s cover after Aishwarya Rai Bachachn (2003) and Parveen Babi (1976).

I feel sorry for people like you. You will not hesitate to denounce any good deed by an Indian, no matter what benefit it is bringing to the society. Nobody in the world can denies the exceptional work by Mr. Edhi who is tirelessly helping the nation totally ignored by its rulers. What Amir Khan is doing is bringing awareness to the people of India and Pakistan of their sick societies. Please watch some episodes of "Satyamev Jayate" and I am sure if you have any intelligence at all, you will never make such comments

Most important part is he dont rely on controversies to make fame. He relies on his tallent and hard work and is very sincere when it comes to work. He is also very secular in outlook. Only muslim personality who opened admitted that he is first patriotic indian and then a muslim. his quote "Religion is a part of your personal life and not your socio-political life" is highly inspiring.

I am not surprised. TIME magazine is running out of'' cover' topics.' Recently on the cover it had a woman breast feeding his 6 year old son. That forced me to cancel subscription .It is now a grocery store tabloid devoid of any 'class'. I hope magazine presented Amir K in a positive way.

I like one thing about Amir's message on Satyamev Jayete that it all depends on each individual what change one can bring in his/her own attitude which leave's positive impact on other lives too.

he went to the cover of Time and an editorial with Fareed Zakaria --- the restored Editor in Chief of Time and CNN ----- Not only front page but full cover up.

the whole link is Fareed Zakaria is the Editor of Time, Aamir Khan is on the Cover of the Time, Time covers a lot of stories, and sometimes it fails to catch with the real Time for a good coverage. Sorry you cancelled the Time subscription, they will find some more of the same in their cover stories. Fareed restoration upon his apology tells it all --- HOW FAST YOU CAN PATCH UP and be on COVER again.

There is no need to show anything. Muslims have held all levels of society including that of President of India.
If anyting is missing, it is the muslim vision to see equality and fairness.
