In an quick chat to Moviebuzz, the youngest actor in the world ever tobe conferred with a Doctorate speaks:
What did you feel when you first heard the news?
(Laughs) I thought that someone was pulling a fast one on me and told the person to stop joking.Later when the news was confirmed, I felt extremely touched and happy.
Why did you feel that someone was joking?
See first and foremost, I don’t feel that I have done something great to get a doctorate. What ever little social work andhelp that I have done to the needy and my fellowmen was out of mysincere passion to help them. And all this getting noticed by the board and conferring a doctorate on me brings joy and great happiness.
And when is the function going to be?
It will be conferred to meon Monday, August 27. And I am very happy and thrilled that Dr MadhavanNair one of the finest scientists in India will be the chief guest.
If we were to say that it isthis humble nature and modesty that makes you different from others...?
Smiles...
