Aamir Khan to be appointed as brand ambassador for UNICEF
He is termed as the perfectionist in Bollywood and rightly so. Aamir Khan holds true to what ever he does. Just recently, he worked with the Indian Ministry for Tourism for promoting Indian Tourism. Well now, we hear that Aamir will soon be the face of UNICEF in India.
Following others like Amitabh Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra, Aamir will be the next Bollywood icon to be nominated as the face of UNICEF in India. Aamir will be appointed the national ambassador of United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) on November 30.
Once the face for UNICEF, Aamir will support work in promoting child rights and nutrition of children under two years of age. Apart from this, the organization has also roped in various international celebrities to support its campaigns around the globe, like Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Mia Farrow, Shakira Mebarak, Vanessa Redgrave, Susan Sarandon and football star David Beckham among many others.
Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan was fined Rs.100 for driving into a no-entry zone here Sunday evening, police said.
Khan, accompanied by his family, was driving his silver-coloured BMW car when he took a wrong turn and entered the no-entry zone, Satara city’s traffic in-charge K.N. Patil said.
“Our traffic policemen immediately stopped him and pointed out that he was driving on the wrong side,” Patil told IANS.
However, Khan’s security guard attempted to argue with the traffic personnel, and asked them to spare him since he was a big star.
However, Khan intervened and agreed to pay the fine, Patil said.
Justifying the action, Patil said that “the law is equal for all” and Khan was no exception.
The incident occurred at Powhai Naka, near the Shivaji Statue in the heart of Satara town, which normally witnesses heavy traffic.
Khan and his family members had gone to view the famous Kaas Valley, and were going to Panchgani hill-station, where he owns a bungalow.
It’s been nearly two years, and we have not seen our perfectionist star Aamir Khan on-screen after hisoutstanding performance as ‘Rancho’ in the critically and commercially super-duper successful 3 idiots. But, we do know Aamir is right now filming for a cop flick with Reema Katgi who previously made ‘Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.’ And if sources are to be believed, this cop flick, in which Aamir will be sporting a moustache as well, has been titled ‘Dhuan’.
Aamir is planning to soon launch the first look of the film, and following in his good friend’s Salman’s path, Aamir wants a digital poster to be launched for Dhuan just like Ek Tha Tiger. Aamir Khan was so impressed with the idea of a digital poster from Yash Raj Films that he has asked the creative team of Dhuan to come up with a digital poster for his film as well. Aamir would be discussing the look of the poster with his creative team soon.
‘Dhuan’ is slated for release in early 2012.
