Satyamev.. wins US award for Aamir

The 47-year-old Bollywood star was presented with the Inaugural America Abroad Media Award along with Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow and the International Center on Non-violent Conflict (ICNC) at a function in Washington which was attended by city's who's who, including those from the State Department, Pentagon and diplomats.

"I have no idea that how the work that we started back home would interest somehow outside India," Aamir said in his acceptance speech.

"Me and my team are trying to do this show with love, because we feel that we are part of the problem and we are also part of the solution. And we need to find that. We need to question ourselves and look inside as opposed to pointing outside," he said in a panel discussion post the ceremony.

It was one of the rare occasions when Aamir, who has made it a practice of not attending award shows, accepted an award.

Aamir, who was accompanied by his filmmaker wife Kiran Rao, said he is working on the next season of the show, which had caught the imagination of the country last year.

"My main aim is to really work in India and to sensitise people about issues and see that we can find solutions to our own issues back home," he said.
