Sushant Singh Rajput aka Manav from Zee
TV's prime time show Pavitra Rishta has been teaching street
kids from Versova, Mumbai how to read and write.
We
spoke to Sushant Singh Rajput aka Manav who said, "Yes, there are some
five to 6 kids who are learning Basic English and Maths. Sometimes I
also teach them Martial Arts, which I think everyone should know. They
do it happily when I say that if you will learn this I will give you
biscuit packets and for the biscuits they learn mathematical tables in
five minutes."
Further when asked him as to what made him help the street kids he said,
"One day, I was sitting in Barista, Versova watching a movie on my
laptop and out side Barista there were some kids who were doing masti
and later on, I asked them would you like to learn and write and first
they said no but later when I gave them the biscuits they were very
happy and from then onwards for the biscuits, they are learning and
writing."
Rajput concluded, "Every kid has the right to be educated and not
deprived of a better tomorrow. It's just the starting point of my
initiative and I am hoping that my little gesture will help these kids
for their future."
