Bollywood actor Aamir Khan on Monday met India's Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath to discuss his plans for a campaign against child malnutrition. Speaking to IANS after the meeting, the actor whose recent film Delhi Belly has done very well commercially, said: "We are launching this campaign with the aim of reaching each and every child in the country. I will be the face of the campaign."
"There are four very important steps that we are going to cover in this campaign. Starting right from the time when the baby is in the womb of the mother, where the feeding of the mother is the most important, to the time the child's feeding includes not only breastfeeding, but also natural food," he said. "I am an entertainer when I am acting in a film and I am a social person when I am associated with an issue like this." A ministry official confirmed that Khan had outlined his plans to Tirath.
