People saluted the girl for her resilience. Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has often come forward to help those in need during adversity. Now, the actor has offered help to a differently abled little girl in Bihar, impressed with her grit and determination.
In a video shared by a regional news outlet, a girl in a school uniform was seen struggling to walk to her school on one leg. Undeterred by the physical limitations, the unidentified student goes to school after travelling for 1 kilometre on one foot in Jamui district of the state, according to News 24.
Sharing the video on Twitter, the Hindi news channel revealed that the girl’s leg had to be amputated after an accident. However, that hasn’t stopped her from going to school and working toward her future.
As the news channel hailed her for her courage, it also caught the attention of the Dabangg star. Quoting the tweet, the 48-year-old actor, known for his philanthropic work, assured that the girl wouldn’t have to struggle to go to school.
“Now she will go to school by jumping on not one but both feet. I am sending the ticket, the time has come to walk on both feet,” Sood wrote in Hindi, tagging his charity foundation.
अब यह अपने एक नहीं दोनो पैरों पर क़ूद कर स्कूल जाएगी।
टिकट भेज रहा हूँ, चलिए दोनो पैरों पर चलने का समय आ गया। @SoodFoundation 🇮🇳 https://t.co/0d56m9jMuA— sonu sood (@SonuSood) May 25, 2022
Not just Sood, local authorities too intervened to help the girl after her video went viral. Jamui District Magistrate visited the girl and presented her with a tricycle and also promised a prosthetic leg.
सीमा को ट्राईसाइकिल मिल गई है। @DmJamui, @JamuiSp और अन्य अधिकारियों ने स्वयं जाकर सीमा को ट्राईसाइकिल हैंड ओवर किया। कृत्रिम पैर के लिए नाप भी ले लिया गया है।
सीमा के सपनों की उड़ान की कोई सीमा नहीं होनी चाहिए।💐🙏 https://t.co/8Rvhd6sfEj pic.twitter.com/oq2Vny42UG— Sukirti Madhav Mishra (@SukirtiMadhav) May 25, 2022

हमें गर्व है कि हमारे प्रदेश के बच्चे शिक्षा के प्रति जागरूक हो रहे हैं, सभी बाधाओं को पार कर शिक्षा ग्रहण कर रहे हैं।
सीमा एवं उसके जैसे हर बच्चे को चिन्हित कर उन्हें यथोचित सहायता मुहैया करवाई जायेगी। बहरहाल बिटिया तक जरूरी मदद पहुंचाई गई है। @NitishKumar @Jduonline #Bihar pic.twitter.com/PidkCvrQZN
