Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has urged people to contribute in making
Maharashtra drought-free by reaching out to those in villages.
Aamir on
Monday posted a video on his Twitter page. He is seen sitting in a vast field
under a tree, asking viewers simple questions; When was the last time you
experienced the joy of smelling the fragrance of the soil? When was the last
time you roamed around and enjoyed the breeze in the air? When was the last time
you extended friendship to someone staying far away from the city and in a
village?
On behalf of Paani Foundation, Aamir then invited people to join
the efforts to make Maharashtra drought-free, and to contribute to it by being a
'Jalmitra'.
"Walk shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in
villages to contribute to their upliftment... Help a village. I assure you that
when you return home at the end of the day, you will realise that actually, the
village has helped you," the actor said.
Paani Foundation is an NGO set
up in 2016 by the team of the TV series "Satyamev Jayate" -- which was led by
Aamir -- to fight drought in rural Maharashtra.
The Foundation aims to
harness the power of communication to mobilise, motivate and train people in
this mission to eradicate drought.
