NEW DELHI: "I am not the biggest hero, Anna (Hazare) is the real hero," said superstar Aamir Khan on Saturday as he pledged support to the activist's fight for a strong anti-corruption law.
Khan's remarks at Ramlila Maidan came as a key Hazare aide Kumar Viswas described the actor as the biggest hero of the country who has lent his support to the movement.
Regaling Hazare's supporters by singing "Mitwaa..." from his superhit movie 'Lagaan', Khan requested the 74-year-old activist to call off his fast as they needed him for leading the countrymen in further struggle.
"I request you to end your fast because we understand that it is a process and Parliament must debate the bill," he said.
"This is the first episode of the struggle. The climax would be when we get the strong Lokpal Bill," Aamir, who "knows what Jan Lokpal Bill is and the differences between it and other versions," said.
He said people should approach their MPs "whom we have elected" and ask them to support Hazare's version of the bill.
"I will meet my MP Priya Dutt and tell her please support the Jan Lokpal Bill. I would say that every Indian must ask their MPs to support this bill. Our eyes are on them," he said.
Khan also spoke with Dr Naresh Trehan, who had come to examine Hazare, and enquired about his health.
