New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's first television show 'Satyamev Jayate' has proved immensely popular after the very first episode was aired on Sunday. The show carries a strong message of social change and calls for a fight against the evils of society. 'Satyamev Jayate' many say has created television history, others are calling it an exquisite piece of journalism.
The question is whether the show has redefined entertainment and news television shows. The question was taken up by IBN18 Network Deputy Editor Sagarika Ghosh on her show Face the Nation.
Here's the transcript of the discussion with a distinguished panel:
