Alaiha Vanjara, a 13-year-old Bombay Scottish student, who made headlines for her altruism, finally got a chance to meet her favourite actor Varun Dhawan on Thursday. This is after mid-day highlighted the philanthropic act of the teenager who gave away her savings for the treatment of a child suffering from cancer. She had saved the money to paint her room in a Varun Dhawan-theme.
"What I did for the child was out of a sense of responsibility, and I am glad Varun appreciated it. Such encouragement can motivate youngsters to work towards a good cause," said Alaiha.
Last October, mid-day had reported that Alaiha helped a family of a two-year-old patient, Veer Pawar, who was undergoing treatment for lung cancer and multi organ failure at NH SRCC Children's Hospital by raising R1.23 lakhs for his treatment.
