Aamir Khan, who championed several causes in his TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate’, is gearing up for another major cause. The Bollywood actor has taken up the initiative of launching a contest to equip Maharashtra’s drought hit villages with water harvesting and other facilities to tackle the water scarcity and farmers suicide situation there. “Since I am from creative field, I connect a lot with the people and my interest in social issues increased,” says Aamir. The Perfectionist Khan received a lot of support from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis for ‘Satyamev Jayate Water Cup’. Keeping his celeb status aside, the actor opens up about the initiative and how he plans to rope in many more celebrities and VIPs to his list to do the charity work. The prize money for this is Rs.50 Lakhs. The contest will take place between April 15th and May 31st. Aamir and Kiran Rao’s NGO Paani Foundation along with Maharashtra Government will work towards solving water crisis in the state.
