Letter To Aamir Khan - Talaash


Dear Sir,
As always, Talash was an extremely engrossing work of yours but have a suggestion to make for Brand Aamir.

Brand Aamir has always worked to dispel superstitions from the society and this movie  is definitely not in sync with the Brand image. While science has still not answered a lot of questions, existence of Ghosts is a far fetched imagination which leads people to seek help of Babas and Tantriks. What happens to them is a well known fact which is often an eighth page news or a non prime time news. Children are killed, women are raped and crimes unheard of happen.

My suggestion is related to correct the image of Brand Aamir by taking up this topic in Saytyameva Jayate and dispel this belief through scientific arguments. Arguments like the ones used by Carl Sagan in "Cosmos" (a  13 episode TV series and a book) and by Richard Dawkins in almost all his books.

Would request you to definitely give it a serious thought and help the cause of science.

With respect and humleness
Manish Saini
