Mahika
Sharma,
who
featured
in
the
TV
shows
of
FIR
and
Ramayana
said
that
she
is
a
follower
of
Swami
Vivekananda.
On
'National
Youth
Day'
which
is
celebrated
on
his
birthday
(January
12)
to
honour
him,
Mahika
says,
"I
always
look
towards
Swami
Vivekananda
to
make
my
life
easier
and
beautiful.
Since
childhood,
I
have
been
his
follower.
I
learnt
about
him
from
my
parents
who
admitted
me
to
Vivekananda
Kendra
Vidyalaya
for
my
schooling.
Our
teacher
used
to
discuss
about
his
personality
and
it
was
so
pleasant
to
be
part
of
his
talk.
He
lived
a
simple
life
with
high
thinking.
He
was
also
a
profound
philosopher
with
great
principles
and
devout
personality."
The
actress,
who
has
also
acted
in
other
shows
like
Tu
Mere
Agal
Bagal
Hai
and
Police
Factory
donates
'education
fee'
for
a
child
every
year
on
National
Youth
Day.
"Swami
Vivekananda
saw
hope
in
every
child
who
could
contribute
to
nation-building.
He
focused
immensely
on
harnessing
the
potential
of
the
youth.
With
education
and
peace,
he
won
the
world
and
taught
the
youth
to
get
out
of
their
comfort
zones
and
achieve
anything
they
desire.
So
on
his
every
birthday,
I
always
follow
the
ritual
of
lighting
a
Diya
and
then
cook
sweet
rice.
I
distribute
that
among
street
dwellers
and
the
less
fortunate
kids.
I
feel,
where
ever
I
stand
today
is
all
because
of
him.
During
the
lockdown,
I
read
his
book
again.
Every
year
on
this
day,
I
try
and
visit
my
institute
and
enjoy
the
annual
function.
I
badly
miss
it
now
amid
the
pandemic," she
added.
Mahika
has
also
appeared
in
Bollywood
films
like
Mr
Joe
B.
Carvalho
and
Chalo
Dilli.
