नोएडा की सड़क पर कल रात 12 बजे मुझे ये लड़का कंधे पर बैग टांगें बहुत तेज़ दौड़ता नज़र आया
मैंने सोचा
किसी परेशानी में होगा , लिफ़्ट देनी चाहिए
बार बार लिफ़्ट का ऑफ़र किया पर इसने मना कर दिया
वजह सुनेंगे तो आपको इस बच्चे से प्यार हो जाएगा ❤️😊 pic.twitter.com/kjBcLS5CQu
The 19-year-old, who hails from Uttarakhand, daily runs 10 km to pursue his dream of joining the Army. He lives in Noida's Sector 16 with his brother. Mehra also told the filmmaker that his mother is unwell and hospitalised. And he declined to have dinner with Kapri as his brother, who works the night shift doesn't cook and would be left hungry.
Netizens also applauded the 19-year-old for his bravery and courage.
Pradeep you are amazing. Through Vinod sir, you can probably change the thinking of many children. I pray to God that you will definitely be successful.https://t.co/zSM9EtXqnu
