U.S. President Barack Obama got his eighth entry on the annual list of the 100 top global titans.

 

MUMBAI (Web Desk) - Bollywood actor-director Aamir Khan has made it to the Time magazine’s coveted list of 100 Most Influential People of 2013.

 

“The Time 100 issue represents our choices for the 100 most influential people in the world. It’s our 10th year doing it, and the cover always presents a special challenge,” the magazine wrote in its editorial about the Time 100 issue.

 

While the magazine has, in some of its past Time 100 editions, put “a postage-stamp-size picture” of all the 100 influencers on the cover, the magazine says it is “trying something new” this year, with “seven cover portraits of Time 100 honorees who reflect the breadth and depth of our list, each one profiled inside – as is our tradition – by an equally luminary voice”.

 

Aamir Khan is profiled by an equally well-known Indian star, composer A.R. Rahman, who paints a rather compelling image of the actor, praising him for using his influence to raise social awareness in India.
