Aamir
Khan
earned
laurels
from
all
quarters
for
his
directional
debut
Taare
Zameen
Par.
Now
the
perfectionist
actor
will
be
one
of
the
six
Indian
torch
bearers
for
the
Beijing
Olympics.
The
other
five
include
former
cop
Dr
Kiran
Bedi,
World
Wildlife
Fund
CEO
Ravi
Singh,
president
Coca
Cola
India
Atul
Singh,
environmentalist
Y
Subhash
Chandra

and
president

Hegde.
The
Olympic
torch
will
be
relayed
in
India
on
the
April
17
in
New
Delhi.
The
six
people
are
part
of
Coca
Cola
Environment
Champions
and
will
work
for
the
conservation
of
water
resources.
Aamir
Khan
said
he
felt
honoured
to
get
such
a
great
platform
to
raise
awareness
for
the
environment
among
the
masses.
Aamir
said
the
country
has
a
huge
scope
of
improvement
as
far
as
performance
is
concerned
in
the
Olympics.
He
however
did
no
believe
India
lacked
talent
but
felt
talented
individuals
have
to
be
polished
to
achieve
success.
On
the
question
of
Bollywood
stars
owning
IPL
teams
Aamir
said
he
would
like
being
a
fan
rather
than
the
owner
of
a
team.
