First show: Reel-life activists get real
Aamir Khan joined the ranks of activist-actors when he dropped in on the Narmada Bachao Andolan dharna at Jantar Mantar.
Along with the star came star-chasers. Hundreds of them. The lane outside Jantar Mantar became a traffic nightmare, with teenaged girls rubbing their spaghetti straps against curious onlookers and the star's bodyguards just to get an autograph or a shot on their camera-phone.
Such was the chaos that the star contingent had to shift to the adjacent Park Hotel. "It was an emotional and spontaneous decision (to visit the dharna)," Aamir said and hoped the presence of stars would help bolster public support for NBA.
Aamir first spent time with Bhopal gas victims and then crossed the road to sit with NBA activists. There, he got an impromptu lesson on the Narmada dam issue and even faced demands to stop being Coke's ambassador. He heard them out patiently.
