About the experience

Aditya, Subodh, Divyam, Karthik and Kiran began the virtual date with Bhumi by bonding over their favorite movies, and Saand ki Aankh topped the list. Fans quickly turned into friends when they began chatting with her! Bhumi told us about how she used to have 6 meals a day for her weight transformation in the film Dum Laga Ke Haisha - there was a designated person on set whose sole job was to feed her! Aditya and Bhumi bonded over being climate warriors, and she gave us tips on things we could do around our house to help climate change – using the wastewater from AquaGuard to water plants, using buckets instead of showers, reducing the pressure of the water on the valves. Bhumi got to know that Subodh and Aditya had also been actors at one point in their lives. The conversation segued into them playing a game of dumb charades! While the game was super entertaining, 3 movies left everyone baffled – Ram Singh Charlie, Ram Aur Shyam, & Manorama Six Feet Under. Bhumi found it heart-warming to interact with people who were trying to make a difference in the world in their own little ways. This video call made all the difference in rejuvenating our spirits and brightening up our year!

About Abhyudaya Ashram

Abhyudaya Ashram works towards the empowerment of children who belong to marginalized and vulnerable communities in Morena, Madhya Pradesh. Abhyudaya was started in 1992 for the welfare of the children, often orphans, belonging to castes that have historically been treated as outcasts - such as Bedia, Banchda, Sansi etc. Abhyudaya provides them with an education in order to provide them with a better future.

Children belonging to these vulnerable communities are often forced into prostitution, Abhyudaya Ashram rescued, sheltered & empowered them. Abhyudaya strives to provide them with alternate sources of livelihood by ensuring holistic development and value-based education. For holistic development, the children are also taught art and craft, computer courses and other basic life skills.

It costs Rs 1000 to educate a child for 1 month, including teaching them computer courses.
