Yesteryears screen diva Sridevi made a special appearance on the show, her first appearance with Bollywood's Mr Perfectionist.

The 48-year-old came to meet Harish Iyer, one of the victims of child abuse who told Khan that he was abused by a man for 11 years. At that time his only support was his dog and Bollywood movies, especially the ones starring Sridevi. And that is why the actress was invited on the show.

Iyer was excited when he received a gift from his favourite star. On the show, Khan spoke to several other victims who narrated their horrific experiences of being molested, sodomised and threatened by their tormentors.

According to a survey, 53 per cent children who went through child sexual abuse were boys.

The actor also appealed to people to press the government to pass the Protection of Children From Sexual Offences Bill in parliament.
