‘My entry into television not late’

Hosting show

With Bollywood bigwigs like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan already weaving magic on the small screen through various shows, actor Aamir Khan feels that his entry into television is not late and he is not running behind the rat-race of TRP.

Excited: Aamir KhanAamir will be hosting a television chat show, which will be based on real life stories and real people. “I do not think my entry into television is late. I feel everything has a right time. My venture on television is not calculative. There is nervousness, but I am excited and charged up about the show. I was sure that if I am doing something on television then it has to be different...it has to be something that will connect with the audience,” said Aamir.

“This began as a dream three-four years ago and I am fulfilling it by doing this kind of a show. This idea came to me sometime back, but it took time for me to decide on whether I want to do it or not. I just hope it will be successful,” he said.

When asked if he is in for TRP game, Aamir said, “I can’t put something extra to increase the TRP. I would rather focus on the subject and grab eyeballs. I can’t think of adding anything in the format for TRPs. All I want is more and more people to watch the show. I am sure our TRPs will be good.”

The actor, however, cleared that his show is not based on the international chat show of 'Oprah Winfrey'. Aamir’s show, which will be aired on Star Plus channel early next year, will be broadcast simultaneously in eight languages. It will be produced by the Aamir Khan Productions.
