Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan, who is also an actor, disclosed that Aamir Khan faced severe death threats because of this TV show.
During a conversation on the YouTube podcast "Unfiltered with Samdhish," Imran Khan revealed that the social issues depicted in "Satyamev Jayate" angered those associated with these evils. Particularly, the episode on the sensitive topic of female foeticide made many radicals uncomfortable. According to Imran, after the show, Aamir was warned that if he "spoke too much," people could reach his home and harm him.
