Bollywood legend Anupam Kher’s social media timeline is a treasure trove of life’s slices—humorous, profound, and now profoundly touching. At 70, he’s befriended Rehan, a roughly 10-year-old boy from Mumbai’s streets, promising a brighter tomorrow through education.
The shared video is pure joy: Kher treats Rehan to chocolates, probes his favorite eats—like chocolate coffee—and gauges his schooling enthusiasm. ‘His gleaming eyes revealed boundless promise,’ Kher posted. ‘I’ve committed to books and local school enrollment.’
Kher’s philosophy shines through: ‘Mumbai’s alley kids I knew are now giants, bustling with purpose—it delights me. Redirecting a gifted kid’s trajectory? Simple: halt for two minutes of kind words. The change is real.’
Kher’s track record speaks volumes. Weeks back, he upgraded a security guard’s ancient phone to a touchscreen model mid-photo session, turning frustration into gratitude. That video’s virality mirrored today’s buzz. As admirers laud his empathy, Kher exemplifies how veterans in the spotlight can illuminate young lives, fostering hope amid urban struggles.
