Aamir Khan on Time magazine's cover

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has been featured on the Asian edition of the iconic US Time magazine cover, thanks to his show -- Satyamev Jayate, which deals with social issues.

This makes him the third Bollywood actor after former beauty pageant winners Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Parveen Babi graced the cover.

The magazine introduces the actor as, "He's breaking the Bollywood mold by tackling India's social evils. Can one actor change a nation?"

The last Indian who featured on the Time’s cover was legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Sania Mirza, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Narendra Modi have also been featured on the magazine.

In 1930, the Time declared Mahatma Gandhi, Man of The Year, after being featured on the magazine thrice.
