Source: http://ibnlive.in.com/news/naseeruddin-shah-returns-to-small-screen-with-naz ar-ya-nazariya/419498-44-124.html In my talks with George Abraham CEO of Score foundation, this idea of having a tele series, that would help create more awareness on people with visual disability, had been lingering in his mind for quite some time. A mission that seemed impossible, on his back burner, that eventually might have been shelfed just as an idea finally comes to life! Indeed a surprise to have read about this tele series in leading newspapers of the country and see the promo on youtube (link included in blog). Very proud of George, his determination, focus and enthusiasm has always inspired me in ways I cannot express in words. Simply that he amazes me. Friends I share with you the article on this new tele series which is featured on the source link with IBN hope you are equally excited and motivated to watch it when it is aired on Doordarshan. Article: New Delhi: Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has associated with a TV series 'Nazar Ya Nazariya', which will feature real life stories of visually challenged achievers in the country. He believes stereotypes related to disabilities need to be broken. The actor will introduce and sign off each episode of the show, which will otherwise be hosted by Harsh Chhaya. Launched by Score Foundation, an NGO which works towards empowering the visually challenged, the 13-part series, which will be aired on Doordarshan, is aimed at questioning common perceptions and focusing on the immense possibilities of life with blindness. "When I did 'Sparsh' in the early 1980s, I had the opportunity of interacting with several visually impaired individuals. I realised that the problem is not with the Nazar it is with the Nazariya," Naseeruddin said in a statement. "What is important here is that people like you and me need to break away from the societal stereotypes and commonly held perceptions about disability and success or happiness. "This is the main message that we are trying to drive through this television series and we hope that we are able to achieve this goal by reaching out to more and more people of this country," he added. The TV series is funded by Sightsavers International, an international charity organisation, Tech Mahindra Foundation and Union Bank of India. The themes showcased on the show will range from education, employment, business, art and culture to marriage and relationships. 'Nazar Ya Nazariya' will go on air on September 21.

A new career move for Naseeruddin and a great awareness campaign for the visually impaired community. Initially I was under the impression that Aamir Khan would host the show, spinning off his talk show tele series Satyamev Jayate, where in one of his episodes, aptly titled "Persons with Disabilities - We can fly!", he did feature prominent members that represented the visually impaired community. It is overwhelming to have the support of all the members involved in making this tele series a reality including the sponsors and having Naseeruddin as the host is icing on the cake. I think we all should look forward to catching this series, it's extremely educating, motivating, inspiring and breath taking!
