Gandhi Jayanti: Avinash Mishra, Vijayendra Kumeria and other TV actors share their Gandhigiri moments | Bollywood Life

On October 2, the nation is celebrating the birth of Nation’s father, Mahatma Gandhi. The man who fought for India’s freedom in his own way has given us the concept of Gandhigiri. Well, the term came from the movie Lagey Raho Munnabhai but the idea and the concept were rooted by the national leader. Today many are influenced by him, including the TV celebrities. So on Gandhi Jayanti, let’s see what your favorite TV celebrities have to share on their Gandhigiri moments.

Avinash Mishra

I remember after completing the 12th, we had to choose a subject to continue our graduation and one of my friends wanted to do BBA but he was forced by his parents to choose a CA course. And definitely, he didn’t want to do it, then my friends and I went to his home and had a long conversation with his parents, almost for 8-9 hours. I guess that was our GandhiGiri moment as we convinced them with love and huge patience.

I’ve had a lot of Gandhi Giri moments. In fact, I keep witnessing GandhiGiri moments in my day to day life. I politely ask people to keep their surroundings clean, not to litter. If I find anyone spitting on the road, throwing garbage, tell them not to. I threaten people that I will record and handover the footage to the media if they break traffic rules or misbehave when corrected. I’ve asked a lot of people in my unit to not use abusive language and keep the environment positive and clean. Also, If I find someone having a physical fight, I ask them to be nonviolent and solve the matter through a verbal conversation.

Gandhi Ji is not only an inspiration for our nation but is also an idol for the entire world because of his greatness and kindness. We all must have a Gandhi ji within us. There are many situations in life when you get tempted to do things which are easy and unethical. Those are the moments we must remember what Gandhi ji taught us and live by the truth and honesty.

I have done Gandhigiri at my home itself when my sister was giving her 12th exams. My parents wanted her to do a CA course, especially my mom but she never wanted to do the CA course. That time I put my foot down and I said let her do what she wants to do. She wanted to be in a different kind of industry, she wanted to get into the hotel industry and I convinced my parents.

It’s not just about a moment or a day when I did something good, I think we all should do good every day and remind ourselves of the very essence of gandhigiri, which is nonviolence. We should not differentiate between caste and creed, which is very old school. Also, I remember the fact that the base of Indian democracy and the reason why Mahatma Gandhi wanted a secular India, so secularism is a priority for me. Presently, the way the government has been functioning in our country and the way the democracy has been played and used for their own advantages, I speak about the basic rights of constitution and the basics of any human staying in India. As long as we remember what Gandhi stands for, which is secularism, nonviolence and no differentiating between caste and creed, I think we are keeping a part of Gandhi alive with us every day, every moment with our breath

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, I always remember Mahatma Gandhi. I always try and do Gandhigiri in my daily life too. Recently, I did Gandhigiri with one of my friends, who was facing a financial issue. He had to give his kids’ school fees. The problem has become so big that from Mira road he had to shift to Naigaon and after shifting there, his problems increased. So he really wanted money as his financial condition was really bad. I took his account number from someone and quietly added some money in his account without telling him. He was so surprised!

Vijayendra Kumeria

Cleanliness is something I am very particular about. I always correct people if they are littering or dirtying their surroundings. One act of gandhigiri that I remember is that I saw people throwing water bottles here and there on the set after they consumed water. At first, I was disgusted but then my inner voice pricked me I started collecting bottles and putting them in the bin and I made sure everyone noticed it. Everyone got embarrassed and realized and started picking up the bottles and after that whenever I was on the set I never saw anyone littering at least in my presence.
