In a city that never sleeps, Anupam Kher paused to create a moment that will linger. The 70-year-old icon, fresh off a playful social media jab at his son Sikandar Kher, introduced fans to Rehan, a street-smart 10-year-old whose begging days might soon end thanks to Kher’s intervention.
The video, brimming with warmth, shows Kher handing over chocolates and chatting animatedly. Rehan, from a poor family scraping by, caught Kher’s eye with his eager spirit. Delving into the boy’s dreams, Kher learned of his love for chocolate coffee and school aspirations. ‘I’ve promised to get him books and school admission,’ Kher shared online.
Reflecting deeper, Kher reminisced about his own ‘old friends’ from Mumbai’s bylanes, now thriving adults. ‘It makes me happy to see them occupied with their lives,’ he wrote. ‘Guiding a child’s path requires just a brief, affectionate chat— the impact is profound.’
This act aligns with Kher’s history of benevolence. Not long ago, he surprised a security guard with a modern smartphone when the man’s old device failed during a selfie attempt. The clip exploded online, amassing millions of views. Today, Kher’s latest gesture reignites conversations on celebrity philanthropy, urging everyone to spot potential in the overlooked.
