Tanishaa Visits Street Kids

The street urchins hanging around South Mumbai’s Azad Maidan could not have asked for anything as glamorous as Bollywood actress Tanishaa. But there they were begging from office-goers for a few coins to buy their vada pav breakfast, when her car drew up and she spilled out dressed in a pretty pink halter top and white capris. Tanishaa, came with packets of biscuits and other food that she proceeded to distribute among the grubby hands that reached out to her.
Among the kids, Rabi and Jhelur Kumar, who are nine and eight respectively, were humming Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa umindful of the fact that the actress has nothing to do with this Himesh Reshammiya number. Watching them tear into the biscuits, Tanishaa said, “It’s heart wrenching to see street urchins malnourished while kids from privileged families have to be put on special diets!”She forgets though that she herself was a pampered girl at home many years ago. But now, Tanishaa proudly said that privileged position had been occupied by her lovable niece Nysa — elder sister Kajol and Ajay Devgan’s daughter. “It’s a great feeling to be an aunt. Meanwhile, the street kids danced in a circle around her. One shy 12-year-old boy commented, “Jahan mulgi, wahin hum ,” catching Tanisha’s attention. She giggled, “Aisa comment karega toh tumko koi ladki nahin mileage .”
