TV show's popularity takes Aamir Khan to Time magazine cover

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.

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.
