People like Amir Khan are in an envious position. He gets paid an astronomical amount to anchor a TV programme that discusses various social issues. At the same time, he also builds his brand value, developing the image that he is doing some selfless social service to the nation of 1.2 billion people.

A team researches, another team writes the screenplay, yet another team shoots, directs and edits. The 'method' actor rehearses well and delivers his act as directed. A paid audience (who typically hop from one studio to another to make a living) cries and applauds as directed by the director. Voila, we have a series of 'emotionally charged' episodes, 'educating' the viewer on social evils with a call of action to donate generously to an NGO, of his choice which never discloses its accounts, its ownership or its actual deliverables.
The viewer, after having shed copious tears on a Sunday morning, switches channels and goes on to watch the actor's latest blockbuster (that promotes suicides) over a period of 4 hours, soaking in a hundred adverts in between. What next? The actor will milk his 15 minute meeting with Modi to perfection. Satyameva Jayate! Yes, Truth Alone Triumphs!
