Satyamev Jayate 2 topples Comedy Nights with Kapil

2 April 2014

 ?Serious content also sells on TV, especially if it has the perfectionist Khan backing it.

The show in question is Satyamev Jayate in its second coming, which toppled Comedy Nights with Kapil from its numero uno position.

Aamir Khan was delighted to meet young girls for his show Satyamev Jayate 2, which premiered on March 2. (HT Photo) Farmers felicitate Aamir in their own sweet ways.
