Actor Aamir Khan rues that a whopping 80 per cent of children are forced to watch content not made for them and described the phenomenon as "scary".
"If you look at our children's content, it's almost negligible, and the little that I see is very scary... It scares me to see the kind of children's content they are making," Khan, who also directed the film 'Taare Zameen Par', said at the annual Ficci Frames event in Mumbai.
He said that 80 per cent children are watching content not made for them.
He further said the film industry should focus on inculcating values like honesty and caring in the content, which will help in shaping a child's mind.
"We as a creative industry or media have a huge opportunity in front of us. Huge opportunity in building the nation with how we make children perceive what is honesty," he said, ruing that these days the society isn't valuing the virtue of honesty.
"Today, unfortunately, we are in a time where dishonesty is looked upon. How do we bring in a quality that people can admire?"
