Actor Aamir Khan’s TV talk show Satyamev Jayate has become very popular and is one of the most watched programmes on Indian television. Not just the viewers, but the entire film industry is raving about it.On the show Aamir K discusses problems pertaining to Indian society — issues that sometimes touch society’s raw nerve. Film actor Shakti Kapoor (who plays villainous roles in movies) has been so taken in by the programme that he recently gave a statement in Aamir K’s favour.

According to him, Aamir K should become India’s prime minister. Not a bad idea! The problem is it has come from Shakti Kapoor, who in his films chases after girls, embezzles money and kills people. What if he becomes a member of Aamir K’s cabinet?
