  Gully Boy & His Adoptive Nani (Maternal GrandMother) Very often, even mistakes bring us closer to each other, says Sona Kumar on her experience with Salim Khan.   I met Salim in 2009 when we started moral classes in Anand Nagar Slum, Jogeshwari West, Mumbai, India He was the thinnest, tallest and most mischievous child in our class. He would get into trouble because one or the other child would complain... He was mischievous but never misbehaved. He was enrolled at YMCA to play basketball with 13 more children.

I worked for Reserve Bank of India for 27 years & retired as Assistant Manager. Believe me, me metabiological age is 45 years whereas my biological age is 72 years. I hang out with my school friends since past 60 years. I joined Anupam Kher's Acting Academy at 70 years & made friends with people 1/3 of my age & often hang out with them in theatres etc. I am very passionate about social causes. I volunteered for Trust run by UTV, looking after Mentally Handicapped People from Slum for 10 years. Organised show for Physically & Mentally Challenged children on Antakhshri on Zee TV with Anu Kapur & Pallavi Joshi as host in 2001. On 21 Mar 2007, I formed my own Trust & named it Sona Sarovar Trust. We work for slum children who go to school. Since parents are illiterate & poor, they cant afford to pay tuition fee, with the result these children score low, fail, drop out of the school & start earning. Parents too welcome an extra income so the
