Actor Kamal Haasan has always been forthright in his views on social issues.
He had come forward, at all times, to voice his opinion as well as help a cause when needed.
This was so, even in the recent AIDS awareness campaign telecast on TV. The campaign was about sensitizing the society on the issue of AIDS and its outlook on persons affected by it.
People from all walks of life have lauded the effort, as it was the first campaign, in Tamil, by a celebrity, aimed at eroding the social stigma associated with the disease. The event also brought in hope to those suffering from the disease. This act of Kamal has impressed the United Nations, so much so that they have roped in the actor as their ambassador for AIDS campaign in Tamil Nadu.
