New Delhi / Shaista Fatima

A sufi saying goes by "If light is in your heart, you will find your way home."

A similar incident happened with a 5 year old boy Himanshu, when he met the veteran Bollywood actor Actor Anupam Kher on Shimla's Jatogh's railway station.

In a relevation that happened in the four-miute conversation between the thespian and the village boy, turned out to be a life changing interaction for the latter, though he would hardly realise its significance at this stage of his life.

Kher was so touched by the fact that Himanshu had lost his father that he decided tolook after his education through his Anupam Kher Foundation.

Kher is known for keeping his fanfam up to date via his social media handles, in the video he can be seen interacting with his new found acquaintance, a 5 y/o kid, who seems nonchalant about actor's status and is narrating his story in the most lovable way possible.

The video captioned "I met 5year old #Himanshu at #Jatogh railway station near Shimla. We soon became best friends! He talked non stop."  become an instance hit and already has over 1.5M views, it further said "And then at a certain point I asked him a casual question and his matter of fact answer shook me completely💔! I then spoke to his mother #Usha and assured her that #Himanshu’s entire education will be sponsored by #AnupamKherFounfation. They never asked for anything. But this innocent conversation enriched me! ❤️😍❤️"  the actor seemed to have asked the child about his father to which he replied "woh toh mar gaye" "he is no more". 

Anupam Kher was thouroughly moved by this revelation and decided to sponsor the lad's education via "The Anupam Kher Foundation". His decision was applauded by the fanfam and many even volunteered to help the kid out.  

An instagram user by the name "tasveer_by_sam" volunteered to help with the child's uniform and also promised a trip to the jungle, his comment went as "That is a great gesture @anupampkher sir & do tell your lil friend, while u will sponsor the education, his uniforms & a learning trip to Indian jungle be sponsored by your's truly. Pls do help me with coordinates :)" 

Kher's intellect, wit, humor, philanthropy and popularity travels beyond oceans and can be understood by this comment "I wish I could understand him, and Dulari and others...you need subtitles :) JaiHo from Romania :)",  a comment by a fellow instagram user.

In an earlier instagram post the actor had posted an incident where a shimla man was not able to recognise him and Kher sportingly accepted "He had no idea who I was. It was funnily heartbreaking and yet beautifully refreshing!"

 The video has over 3M views and even has a comment by the veteran actor and Kher's long time friend Satish Kaushik "Haha 😃😃😃this is so funny Khersaab . Cant stop laughing 😃😃😃😃 "

We hope that the actor would keep up the altruistic approach, pay heed to requests of the fanfam and float more such insightful videos along with the subtitles.
