He might have played a jigri dost to Munnabhai on reel, but in real life, the roles have changed. Yes, Arshad Warsi proved to be a real Munnabhai who cares for ill people and tries his best to make them happy.
Arshad Warsi who was shooting in Newcastle, England of his film Kaun Bola ?, took some time out to visit a young fan who is battling a rare lung disease.
A close pal of the actor explained that the girl's uncle Ifty Khan was working in the production team of Warsi's film in Newcastle. Arshad came to know through him the plight of his fan Ayesha and he immediately took a break and went on to visit her. Apparently, Ayesha was speechless on Warsi's arrival.
It is believed that 15 year old Ayesha Ahmed is a resident of Fenham in Newcastle. She suffers from Wagener’s disease, an immune system disorder which has affected her lungs, making it hard to breathe. The young teenager survives on an oxygen machine 24 hours a day. She has been hospitalized in the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.
“Arshad heard Ifty speaking on phone with his sister for a long time. He was very concerned so Arshad asked him what the matter was, that's when Arshad came to know about Ayesha. Ifty informed Arshad that Ayesha is his fan and how resilient, intelligent and brave she was battling such a dreaded disorder. That's when Arshad decided to visit her to boost her confidence and to cheer her up,” says a close friend of Arshad.
He further informs that Arshad was shooting the whole night till almost 5 am in the morning without taking his required sleep and still went to meet her around early noon. He surprised her by dropping in her ward for a chat with her.
These are real life heroes and we salute you, Arshad !!!
