He''s a star in himself, so is Priyanka," Chinmoy Chakravorty, Consultant to Registrar General of India, told PTI.<br /><br />The two icons are not brand ambassadors in the traditional sense, but they will spread the message that everyone should make themselves counted and cooperate with enumerators or the foot soldiers who will ask questions and collect data from households, he added.<br /><br />The publicity campaign will be in 12 languages and has been built up with an approximate cost of Rs 38 crore for the second phase, Chakravorty said.<br /><br />"Priyanka and Sachin both will be requesting the people that they have been part of the exercise and requesting them (viewers) to participate," Suman Prashar, Consultant to RGI, said on the ads that will be telecast.<br /><br />Chopra will also be seen engaging female viewers to talk about what work they do and that in addition to other details will be used to gather genders details in the Census'' result, something which is often "masked" by "biases", she added.<br /><br />"The enumerator should be given due importance and the questions they ask should be duly answered because Tendulkar has answered all the questions," Chakravorty said on what the purpose of the TV commercials is.<br /><br />"When one sees repeatedly on TV, or hear them on the radio or even in the print ads then they get sensitised. People think that ''Yes, these are important issues I should correctly answer the questions,''" he added.<br /><br />The national campaign is being complemented by local campaigns by state Census Directorates which are using local mediums like wall paintings and regional languages and dialects to spread the message.<br /><br />Tendulkar and Chopra have not charged for appearing in the advertisements, they added.

He has been showered with praises from Bollywood. <br /><br />Taking the lead in heaping praise on the little master is Big B, Amitabh Bachchan. The superstar is miffed with repeated comparisons between Sachin and the Aussie cricketing legend Sir Don Bradman. <br /><br />“Why must there be a debate or even a discussion on whether Sachin is greater than Don Bradman or not? Sachin is greater, period! By bringing the topic up for debate you are somewhere unsure whether he really is deserving of being great or not.<br /><a name="more"></a><br />And this is objectionable to me,” Amitabh wrote on his blog while praising Tendulkar’s achievement. <br /><br />Big B also slammed the typical Indian attitude of comparing our heroes, be it in sports, films, or any other field, to those of the west. <br /><br />“Why do we always want to describe our achievement or subject with a comparison from the West. Alright, the West is far developed than us, is richer materially, advanced and secure. So how does this give us the need to comment that they are superior. Or that the best comes from there and not here,” the 68-year-old superstar wrote.
