Aamir Khan's Satyamev Jayate to be aired on DD1 simultaneously

The eagerly awaited show, Satyamev Jayate, hosted by Aamir Khan will be aired not only on Star Plus, but also on Doordarshan (DD1) simultaneously. The show will go on air on Sunday, May 6th.

There is a lot of hype and hoopla regarding Aamir Khan, who will be making his television debut with Satyamev Jayate on Star Plus. For the first time in the Indian television history, a show on a private channel will be telecast on Doordarshan at the same time. The show will be dubbed in four Indian languages – Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada.

Aamir Khan got very emotional while speaking at the recent launch of Satyamev Jayate. The 47-year-old accepted that he is a very emotional person and broke down many a time after hearing heart rendering stories of people.

Speaking about the title song of the show, Aamir Khan said that though he and the team earlier thought of composing a national song or an anthem, they decided against doing so as it was felt that a love song for the country would be more of an appropriate thing to do. The song, sung by Keerthi is written by Prasoon Joshi and composed by Ram Sampath.

Aamir Khan also said that he wants every Indian to watch Satyamev Jayate with their family and hence decided to opt for a Sunday, 11 am slot. The talented actor went on to say, “I'm not attempting to change anybody's life with the show. I am an entertainer, my attempt is to connect with the people. But entertainment can be of any form, it need not be making people laugh every time.”

Hmmm....from the looks of it, Satyamev Jayate seems very promising. Good luck Aamir!
