He further said that “with this show I want to reach out to a larger audience, and hence the decision to telecast it on Doordarshan also”.

"This is not just a show for me, it’s a journey. A journey of discovery, of change, of emotions, of human stories which touch and inspire us. My dream is to impact lives” said Amir Khan Asked whether the show holds a mirror to the society, Amir Khan replied that he has attempted to hold a mirror to himself. “So much so good, if the society can benefit from what I see in the mirror,” he added. He further emphasized that people should come forward to support the social causes in order to strengthen democracy in the country.

The promos of the show are already on with Amir Khan hinting the audience that they can stretch their sleep longer on a Sunday morning, and he will come at 11 a.m. to wake up (or rather awaken) every body.
