Aamir Khan is like Oprah Winfrey: Ava DuVernay
Academy Award-nominated director Ava DuVernay says she admires superstar Aamir Khan's work and compared him to Oprah Winfrey. "I love him (Aamir). He has a magnetic quality, the activism and social justice work that he does is amazing. Also, his television show 'Satyamev Jayate' is great," she said. Ava compared the star to Oprah Winfrey, the popular American actress-producer-talk show host.
