Satyamev Jayte, episode 3 LIVE updates: Aamir Khan requests government to not worry about vote banks and do what is needed
Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate has been impacting the mindsets of people to quite an extrent. With each season, the show is just getting better. This week’s episode saw the superstar Aamir Khan discussing issues about discrimination and violence against the LGBT community.
Update 1:30:
Aamir Khan, towards the end of the show, makes an appeal that members of the hijda community should be given job opportunities and equal treatment in the society. He went on to accept the fact that when he was in school and college, he made fun of homosexuals a lot. However, he was unaware. His narrow-minded approach changed, later in life, when he realized that gays and lesbians are as other human beings.
Update 1:20:
When Union Minister Nitin Gadkari saw the overwhelming response after the last episode of Satyamev Jayte he spoke to Aamir regarding the implimentation of new laws that would include considering the rights of the LGBT community and issues of road safety seriously. Towards the end of the show, Aamir, on being asked what he would do if his kids told him they were gay or lesbian, he would hug them and would accept them with open arms.
Update 12:55:
Aamir says that these kind of issues should be raised publically more often and that people shouldn’t shy away from discussing the rights of the LGBT community. He sticks to his point that gays and lesbians are naturally the way they are. The actor requests the gobernmnet and Indian politicians to not make it a political issue and to look into the matter seriously so that the LGBT community gets equal treatment in the society and that they are not looked down upon.
Update 12:45 pm:
Aamir Khan, in the first half of the LIVE chat is seen talking about how parents should accept their kids if they turn out to be homosexuals. The actor is of the strong opinion that if the family supports their children, only then will the society accept them with open arms. People say that being ‘gay’ or ‘lesbian’ is against religion or nature, but it is important that we realize that they are born like that. They are naturally like that and hence these individuals should be considered ‘normal’ and should be treated equally.
