Aamir plays teacher once more

Taking to social causes is no novel thing for Aamir Khan. The actor had created one of the biggest Bollywood controversies when he sprang to the cause of ‘Narmada Bachao Andolan’. Post-that, he bought to light the issue of dyslexic children with his act of a tender teacher in TZP. And now, Aamir has decided to replicate the role in real life by deciding to teach lesser privileged children.

If the recent hoardings across the city with Aamir espousing the cause of teaching children have made you think about star-struck branding, you are mistaken. More than what meets the eye; the advertisements are actually a reflection of the actor’s belief in the cause. Not just a mere endorsement ambassador , Aamir Khan has himself decided to actively support the campaign and be a part of it.

Speaking on his decision to be part of the Teach India campaign, Aamir said, “Education is one of the primary areas where we need to improvise as a nation. It is one cause that not just me, but I am sure a whole lot of us want to contribute to but don’t know where to start. With this campaign aimed at teaching us to become teachers, social education is simplified further. I am really excited about learning to teach children since they are our future.”

Now with someone as dedicated as Aamir taking on to such a sincere cause, do we need to say anything about the campaign’s success?
