Aamir Khan’s TV show Satyamev Jayate has sort of rattled a nation out of slumber. The show, telecast on Sunday, has got rave reviews. Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen salutes Aamir for this endeavour, but says that other superstars from Bollywood, namely Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan should now take the initiative to talk about rape and sexual abuse of women.
“Dear Salman Khan, please talk about rape, domestic violence and dowry murder on TV tomorrow. Ppl should know about these problems,” Taslima Nasreen wrote on her Twitter page.
“Dear Shahrukh Khan, pl talk about sexual abuse & sexual slavery on TV. Ppl shd know about these problems.We talk, but we're not film stars,” she added.
Taslima Nasreen underscored the fact that film stars do end up bringing a lot of attention to the issues.
“From now on film stars should talk about social problems on TV. Everybody will listen to them. Ppl don't listen to human rights activists. Feminists have been talking about female foeticide and it's dangerous effects for decades. Ppl have learned about it today from star plus,” she wrote and saluted Aamir Khan for creating awareness about female foeticide on the very first episode of Satyamev Jayate.
“I salute Aamir Khan for being so courageous and for raising people's consciousness. #gendercide,” Taslima Nasreen wrote.
