At the IIFA Cup match held today, there sat a 15 year old boy confined to his wheelchair, eagerly waiting to get a few glimpses of his favourite stars. Sohail Abbas Rehman is suffering from a genetic illness called ‘Spinal Muscular Athropy’ and he gets to spend all his time on the wheelchair reading surfing the net, listening to music and watching movies.
God braced Sohail’s wish of meeting his favourite stars when Radiosargam.com awarded him with a special pass to the IIFA Cup match, an event embraced by the top notch stars of Bollywood.
The atmosphere was lively as the stars from Bollywood took on to the field. Sohail too embraced himself in his own little way at the boundary waiting for an exciting contest to begin. At the sight of Govinda, his favourite actor, Sohail called him but the actor ignored. Govinda, an actor who is crushed between his commitments in politics and acting, did not even look at the child, leave alone meeting him.
Sohail was used to such things. Life had taught a lot to this child at a very young age. Likewise, little did he know that, a very cute and kind surprise was on his way. Bollywood actress and the heiress of UK television reality show Big Brother, Shilpa Shetty noticed Sohail from the pavilion and walked up to him with her bodyguards.
Shilpa greeted Sohail and followed it up with a hug. Sohail was amazed by the whole move of Shilpa. He requested her for a snap, to which Ms Shetty obliged. Not only this, she even put her arms around him and got the photos taken. She spoke to him for a couple of minutes more and then left the place.
Sohail was still in awe of the moment which had touched him deep within. It was a ‘kind’ surprise for the kid by Shilpa Shetty. There are not many moments for Sohail to store in his book of memories but Shilpa had just laced one by lending courage and smiles on his face.
Later on, a few other Bollywood actors like Dino Morea, Aftab Shivdasani and Upen Patel also came over to him and shook hands with him. Sohail was feeling on top of the world as well as left aside at the same time. The reason for his second thought were the so called ‘stars’ of Bollywood who crossed him but did not bother to share a word or a smile with him.
We caught up with Sohail after the match and asked him about the whole experience. He narrated the whole incident to us and also added, “I am grateful to the actors who made an effort to meet me. Shilpa Shetty was the first one and the only one to hug me. Others like Dino Morea, Upen Patel and Aftab also came over but it was more like a formal meeting. I wish I could meet the others present at the event too, who blissfully ignored me. Anyways, they are stars and look good while sharing love only on the silverscreen. In real life, genuine people like Shilpa Shetty are few. I was deeply touched by her kind gesture.” Saying this, tears filled in Sohail’s innocent eyes.
There we decided to leave Sohail with his new experience which gave him a galaxy of memories to cherish all his life.
