Aamir Khan accepts packet of sweets at television award show

Mumbai, Jun 24: Superstar Aamir Khan, known for shunning award shows, received a packet of sweets instead of a trophy at the Star Parivaar award show for his debut TV venture ‘Satyamev Jayate’.

The 49-year-old actor was honoured for his contribution to society through his TV show, which deals with social problems like rape, injustice to women, corruption and education issues.

“I am happy to be accepting this honour. But I don’t think you should be giving me sweets because post ‘Dhoom 3? I have put on a lot of weight. I think the success of the film has been too much for me,” joked Aamir, who was accompanied by wife Kiran Rao for the ceremony last night.

Reflecting on his 25-year-old career, Aamir Khan said he has been very lucky to get opportunities to work with great directors.

“I think the credit goes to the great stories written and the directors who got me on board. One of my favourite films is ‘Andaa Apna Apna,” said Aamir.

The actor broke into an impromptu jig onstage and shook his leg to the beats of his superhit song ‘Aye kya bolti tu’ from 1998 film ‘Ghulam’.

Popular Bhojpuri actor Amrita Pandey was found dead in her apartment in Bihar's Bhagalpur last week on April 27, the police said. The cops suspect the actor, 27, died by suicide but the matter is under investigation.

The police said she posted a cryptic WhatsApp status before her death, which read, "Do naav me savaar thi uski zindagi, humne apni naav duba ke uska safar aasaan kar diya" (His/her life was sailing on two boats, we made the journey easy by sinking one). The cops have not recovered any suicide note. She is survived by her husband.

Amrita's family said she worried about her career as she was not getting enough work and was suffering from depression. The family said she was undergoing treatment for depression.

The actor lived in Mumbai with her husband, Chandramani Jhangad, an animation engineer. She went to Bhagalpur to attend her sister's wedding on April 18. Her husband returned home after the wedding but Amrita chose to stay back.

The actor has been alongside Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav in 'Deewanapan'. She also acted in Hindi movies, TV shows and web series. She is also known for her role in the web series 'Parishodh'.

City Superintendent of Police, Shri Raj, said we will conduct a high-level investigation into this case. A team has been formed, the family members are being interrogated and further action is underway in the case.
