Actors and compassion
Mohd Nazim, lead actor of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya: I'll be meeting cancer patients and will spend time with them today. I think the biggest act of compassion is when you bring a smile to people's faces. I plan to spend a few hours playing games with kids and talking to the elders. Cancer is a disease which breaks a person physically and emotionally, and if I can manage to bring a few moments of happiness, it will be worth the effort. Two-three years ago, an old lady in Chandigarh who had cancer, who happened to be my fan, told me, "The doctor has said I have only six months to live, and two months have already gone. I want to live and see my grandchildren, but that's not possible." It was then that I decided that I'll try to make those people smile, who don't have much time left.
