Thanks to Nawazuddin Siddiqui's film Manjhi - The Mountain Man (2015), this Allahabad-based school teacher Seerat Fatima cracked the UPSC exams, who got inspired by the film after she had lost hope. She is among those who were declared successful in the civil services exams over the weekend. Yesterday, Nawaz tweeted, "I feel privileged to be doing such inspiring films (sic)."

Ketan Mehta's film is about a labourer in a Bihar village, who carved a road through a hill using nothing more than a hammer, to offer the villagers better access.

It feels great that my film #ManjhiTheMountainMan have motivated the girl Seerat to clear the #UPSC Exam after she had given up on it.
