Bollywood star Aamir Khan today said the November 26 terror strikes had stirred up awareness among the citizens to chose right leaders.

"After the terror attack, citizens are well aware about the state of affairs in the country and this will help them in choosing the right leader in the upcoming elections," he said while launching a campaign to create awareness amongst voters.

A city-based NGO, Association for Democratic Reforms and National Election Watch, launched a nationwide voter awareness campaign, 'Vote for Integrity, Vote for Good People'.

The campaign will appeal to citizens to make an informed choice and also provide them with information about candidates through a toll free number, SMS and website.

Aamir, while launching the campaign, said this platform should be taken advantage of by the citizens.

The film star, however, said he would never enter into politics like other actors, as he is very passionate about acting and movies.

"I have voted only twice or thrice and will be voting this year too. I vote for the leader who has a strong character and a high level of integrity," he said
