In the hustle of Mumbai’s skyscrapers and glittering lights, a simple act of kindness can melt hearts. Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently shared a touching video on social media, capturing his delightful interaction with a group of innocent street children. The clip, showing him spending joyful moments with the kids, has gone viral, earning widespread admiration from fans across platforms.
The video and accompanying photos, posted on Instagram, feature beaming children clutching colorful pencil boxes. These are the same kids Anupam met earlier on a boat from Versova to Madh Island. During that chance encounter, the children innocently expressed their wish for coloring pencils, a request that touched the actor deeply.
In his caption, Anupam wrote, ‘Meet my new young friends. I remember meeting them at the Versova-Madh Island jetty (boat), and they asked me for a color pencil box. So I stopped my car and happily gave them what they wanted. We were all so happy.’ The footage shows the kids introducing themselves, sharing their names, classes, and revealing they’re from Ahmedabad. They even recount their first meeting with Anupam on the boat, proudly mentioning how they asked for the pencils.
Fans flooded the post with praise. One commenter noted, ‘Anupam Kher’s heart remains as pure as a child’s despite his stardom.’ Another said, ‘True artists like him inspire society by prioritizing humanity over fame.’ Many echoed sentiments like, ‘Real joy comes not from big stages but from these kids’ smiles. If only everyone valued roadside children’s wishes this way.’
This gesture highlights Anupam’s longstanding reputation for humility and generosity. In an industry often criticized for detachment, such moments remind us of the power of small kindnesses. The video continues to rack up likes and shares, proving that genuine warmth resonates far beyond the silver screen.
