Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' impact: Supreme Court orders 'India's Got Latent' fame Samay Raina to host people with disabilities

The release of Taare Zameen Par in 2007 truly brought society’s attention to the need for raising awareness about dyslexia in children. While the film created a major stir, its spiritual sequel Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par, released this year, focused on the larger cause of spreading awareness about persons with disabilities.

Taare Zameen Par was a film that deeply impacted society, and Sitaare Zameen Par has done the same by leaving a profound mark, so much so that the Supreme Court has ordered social media influencers to host persons with disabilities.

Real cinema is the kind that leaves an impact on society, and _Sitaare Zameen Par_ has proved its mettle in doing exactly that. Following the Samay Raina verdict, the Supreme Court has ordered him and four other social media influencers to host persons with disabilities at least twice a month on their online platforms and at public events, with the aim of raising awareness and funds for children with rare disorders such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy. As per the Court, the move was intended to turn controversy into constructive action, after taking serious note of a video in which the comedians mocked people with disabilities.
