Mumbai’s veteran Bollywood star Anupam Kher is melting hearts online once again. At 70, the actor has found an unexpected new companion—a 10-year-old boy named Rehan from a humble background. Sharing a touching video on social media, Kher not only treated the child to chocolates but also vowed to enroll him in a local school.
The video captures a spontaneous moment of kindness. Spotting Rehan begging on the streets, Kher was drawn to the sparkle in his eyes. ‘My new friend Rehan loves chocolate coffee,’ Kher captioned the clip. ‘In his shining eyes, I saw a bright future. I’ve promised him books and, if possible, admission to a nearby school.’
Kher engaged the boy in heartfelt conversation, asking about his favorite foods and interest in studies. This isn’t just a fleeting gesture; it’s a reminder of how small acts can transform lives. ‘My old street friends from Mumbai’s alleys have grown up and taller than me now,’ Kher reflected. ‘Seeing them busy and successful fills me with joy. Changing a talented child’s life isn’t hard—just stop for two minutes, talk lovingly, and it makes a real difference.’
Anupam Kher’s generosity is well-documented. Recently, he gifted a touchscreen smartphone to a security guard struggling with an outdated keypad phone during a photo op. That viral moment underscored his commitment to uplifting those in need. As fans shower praise, Kher’s story inspires a wave of positivity, proving age is no barrier to compassion.
