While
Aamir
Khan
may
be
vocal
about
many
social
issues
like
water
conservation,
the
Bollywood
superstar
has
made
it
clear
that
he
will
never
join
politics.
The
actor
said
he
is
'scared'
of
the
idea
and
instead
believes
he
can
be
a
better
influence
through
his
films.
"I
don't
want
to
be
a
politician.
I
am
not
meant
for
that.
I
am
a
communicator.
I
am
not
interested
in
politics...
I
am
also
scared
of
politics.
Who
isn't?
So,
I
stay
away.
I
am
a
creative
person.
Politics
is
not
my
thing.
I
want
to
entertain
people.
I
feel
I
will
be
able
to
do
more
as
a
creative
person
than
as
a
politician,"
Aamir
was
quoted
as
saying
by
PTI
during
a
session
at
NDTV'S
special
youth
conclave
'YUVA'.
The
actor
has
been
extensively
working
towards
water
crisis
for
the
past
three
years
in
Maharashtra
through
his
Paani
Foundation,
which
aims
at
imparting
knowledge
at
the
grassroots
level
in
the
state
about
water
conservation
and
watershed
management.
Aamir
said
the
issue
of
water
scarcity
can
be
countered
only
when
the
"people
own
the
problem".
"They
have
to
be
the
solution.
It
has
to
be
a
people's
movement...
Our
approach
has
always
been
very
inclusive.
We
want
more
and
more
people
to
join
the
cause," he
added.
The
actor
believes
it
is
the
lifestyle
of
the
people
which
is
responsible
for
the
degradation
of
the
environment.
"We
need
to
give
up
cellphones,
TV
sets,
give
up
watching
movies,
computers
etc...
the
lifestyle
is
such
that
we
are
using
so
many
resources.
To
survive
we
need
to
redevise
our
lifestyle." Aamir
said
it
is
easy
for
the
public
to
blame
the
government
for
its
woes,
but
things
cannot
get
better
without
the
participation
of
the
citizens.
"It's
easy
for
us
to
blame
the
government.
Maharashtra
government
has
made
a
lot
of
efforts
to
hit
back
the
problem...
As
citizens,
we
should
question
our
government.
They
are
answerable
to
us.
But
change
only
happens
when
we
become
part
of
the
solution,"
he
further
added.
On
the
professional
front,
Aamir
will
be
next
seen
in
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya's
Thugs
Of
Hindostan
which
has
a
stellar
star
cast
that
includes
names
like
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Katrina
Kaif
and
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh.
