written by VV

This video is based on the experiences I had while visiting Gallipoli. Thanks to my Couchsurfing host in Gallipoli because of whom I could see the town. Gallipoli has got a great significance in the history of India. During the World War 1 thousands of Indian soldiers fought in Gallipoli for their British rulers. On the opposite side were the soldiers of the erstwhile Ottoman Empire.

Turkey and Aamir Khan

My host was a teacher and took me to his school. I met a lot of teachers and we interacted on a lot of topics. I came to know that Aamir Khan’s ‘Taare Zameen Par’ or ‘Every Child is Special’, as it is known in Turkey is a very popular movie. The Government of Turkey advice teachers in Turkey to watch Taare Zameen Par. During the whole trip, I found Aamir Khan is very popular in Turkey. Thanks to Bollywood for making us popular in Turkey.
