New Delhi, Oct 9: Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks has praised actor Aamir Khan for his work towards the Indian society.
Aamir has been actively involved with fighting social taboos through his recently concluded show “Satyamev Jayate”.

The “Castaway” star got to know about Aamir's work from TIME magazine article that had highlighted Aamir's active role in bringing about social change in India.
Hanks will soon be seen in new film “Cloud Atlas” opposite Halle Berry and Huge Grant. It will release in India
