The success of ‘3 Idiots’ has planted the seed of change in the minds of many people. The ideas and value system of Aamir Khan’s character can be taken to address several issues that need a fundamental change.
During the IBN7 Bajaj Allianz Super Idols awards, Khan honoured 18 people who have achieved success despite being physically disabled. Khan said, "Our society barely thinks about the physically handicapped people. It’s necessary. There should be proper infrastructure – be it buildings, theatres, roads – everywhere so that they can too have a comfortable access to every places like a normal person does”.
According to a recent survey done in Pune, 80 per cent of government and semi-government buildings are not disabled-friendly. Perhaps with the kind of change a movie like ‘3 Idiots’ has inspired, we can start to improve our infrastructure to accommodate every individuals rights.
