The superstar thinks the political entity has ushered in a kind of revolution that was waiting to happen... Aamir Khan, arguably Bollywood’s most socially conscious actor, says he is happy with the political revolution brought about by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and the validation that the party received in Delhi.

Aamir said that he had realised people wanted change when he was shooting for the first season of his television show, Satyamev Jayate. “When we were doing the show, we were not sure how it would be received. But, when it was aired and I saw the kind of response it garnered, I realised that this was a nation waiting for a tidal wave of change. The way people came forward to discuss issues gave me some indication that things are changing, if not on the ground. There was this simmering discontent underneath the surface.
