Aamir Khan in awe of Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Queen’
After a host of Bollywood celebrities like Sonakshi Sinha, Huma Qureshi, Sonu Sood among others lauded Kangana Ranaut for her film ‘Queen’, Mr Perfectonist Aamir Khan took to Twitter to express his opinion about the film.
Aamir Khan, for whom a special screening of the film was held in Mumbai on Saturday (March 8), said, “What a film!!! Guys you have to watch QUEEN !!! Anyone who hasn’t seen it please go now and see it.”
Aamir Khan is of the opinion that ‘Queen’, which follows the story of Rani (Kangana Ranaut) realising her true potential when she goes on her honeymoon alone after being left by her fiance Vijay (Rajkumar Rao) a day before marriage, is a very ‘important’ film for girls and boys today.
The actor further tweeted: “Such an important film for every girl, every woman to watch… and in fact every male to watch too!”
Clearly Aamir Khan is in awe of the film which has received rave reviews from critics and audience. Thanking Vikas Bahl for the movie, Aamir said, “Thank you to Vikas Bahl and his team which made the film. And Kangana… you rock!!! Love. a.”
Meanwhile, ‘Queen’ opened to a mellow response at the Box Office at Rs 10 crore in the opening weekend. Taran Adarsh gave the official figures, “#Queen Fri 1.75 cr, Sat 3.50 cr, Sun 4.75 cr. Total: ₹ 10 cr nett. India biz only.”
The second big release of last week ‘Gulaab Gang, starring Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla in lead roles, collected Rs 8 crore in its first weekend. Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#GulaabGang Fri 2.41 cr, Sat 2.97 cr, Sun 3.46 cr. Total: ₹ 8.84 cr nett. India biz only.”
Ali Zafar and Yami Gauatam’s rom-com ‘Total Siyapaa’, however failed miserably at Rs 4 crore. “#TotalSiyapaa Fri 1.11 cr, Sat 1.43 cr, Sun 1.55 cr. Total: ₹ 4.09 cr nett. India biz only.”
EC may appoint Aamir Khan, Virat Kohli as its 'national icons'
New Delhi: The Election Commission is likely to appoint Bollywood actor Aamir Khan and cricketer Virat Kohli as "national icons" who would encourage more and more people to vote in the General Elections.
Aamir and Kohli are expected to join the league of four other "national icons" - cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, boxer M.C. Mary Kom, badminton ace Saina Nehwal and former president A.P.J Abdul Kalam.
Sources said the national icons will reach out to people through programmes such as systematic voter education and electoral participation (SVEEP), which aims at increasing voter turnout as also quality of electoral participation in terms of informed and ethical voting.
They said the poll panel has approached Aamir and Kohli and is likely to make an announcement about their inclusion as national icons in the coming days.
Officials said there are several state-level icons, also referred to as brand ambassadors.
"It is for the first time that there would be six national icons to boost voter participation," an official, who did not wish to be identified, told IANS.
He said the national icons were not only well-known people but had an appeal cutting across age groups.
"Over two crore (20 million) first-time voters will be eligible to exercise their right to franchise in this election. The number of young voters will also be large. The national icons have a special appeal among the youth," the official said.
Aamir, who has been pitching for better voter participation in his individual capacity, is now expected to do so on behalf of the poll panel.
During the launch of a TV show last month, Aamir said he has been approached by the poll panel to spread the message about the significance of voting.
Kohli was part of an awareness campaign for the Delhi assembly elections last year.
The sources said the national icons would also feature in print and electronic advertisements released by the Election Commission.
Over 814 million people will be eligible to vote in the 2014 elections, making it the biggest Lok Sabha polls -- and the biggest democratic parliamentary elections anywhere in the world.

Aamir Khan likes to be careful with words
Recently, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah was upfront with his views on the Farhan Akhtar-starrer Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. He said he didn’t like it. When asked if Aamir can be so straight-forward with his views on films or stars publicly, he said. "Few people have the guts to say what they feel. In general, there are a few artists who say what they feel. What they say must not necessarily be right, but at least they are free to say what they want to." Aamir likes to be careful with his words. "Most of us keep quiet... publicly, I might not say anything as the other person may feel bad. Thinking about the relationship, I may not say it... It’s the emotion that stops us for no reason, the fact that it’ll be taken personally," says the 48-year-old. - See more at: http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/tabloid/aamir-khan-likes-to-be-careful-with-words/article1-1193303.aspx#sthash.HWXxalDR.dpuf

Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate lets down Bihar villagers
According to a Hindustan Times report, villagers of Gehlaur village in Muhra block were very excited to watch the first episode of the show. They were expecting the season to open with Bihar's 'mountain man' Dashrath Manjhi's story. The villagers had forgone their first meal of the day so that they could gather at the agriculture department hall in time to watch the much-hyped episode that was based on the 'Mountain man' and his surroundings. However, they were shocked when they saw that the episode was about rape victims across India. Further to the reports, the villagers were told that the first episode of the season will be of Dashrath Manjhi. As a result a technical team from Star TV had come with satellite TV paraphernalia so that the show could be telecast on Sunday. Despite all the efforts, the villagers felt let down by Aamir Khan as their expectations were not met.
