The virtue of service and unconditional love with no expectation in return is as timeless as human existence. It is one of the basic values and principles that we learn as we grow in a society, helping and nurturing each other building a strong foundation for the future, and that has kept us going for so long. Because it is just so relevant today.
Character is a virtue of hard times, and I believe that to be true, it is the storms that make trees take deeper roots. I know how people feel and what they are going through, I understand this because I have been working closely with them through the Phool Versha Foundation. All I have done is implemented my learning in the film. I truly believe we can do more together.”
