00:00My name is Zahid Manzoor. I live in Miripura, Birol.
00:06I study in this village, Miripura High School, in the 10th grade.
00:10When I was a kid, I used to go to school.
00:12I didn't take my bag with me. I used to take it with me to study.
00:15When many people used to see me, they used to ask me,
00:19how can he go to school?
00:21Then I met this friend, Besa.
00:25I used to go to school with her.
00:27Then I started taking my bag with me to school.
00:34Today I am studying in the 10th grade.
00:37I am very thankful to Allah that I am studying in the 10th grade.
00:41I am also thankful to the teachers who encouraged me.
00:45My teacher, Muhammad, encouraged me a lot.
00:50I have gone to many places to play.
00:53Martial arts, cycling, dancing.
00:56When I used to go out to play,
00:58when I used to get a program,
01:00Zahid, you have to go somewhere.
01:02When I used to come home,
01:04the villagers used to say,
01:06my friends used to say,
01:08Zahid, what can you do in this?
01:10What can you do in this?
01:12You can't move forward.
01:14I said, no, I have kept my foot in this.
01:16I will not move back.
01:18I have to move forward in this.
01:20I will not move back.
01:22One day I will become a star.
01:24I should get support.
01:26I want to move forward.
01:28When I used to feel bad,
01:30I used to sit at home and drive.
01:32I used to say,
01:34if I listen to these people,
01:36I will never move forward.
01:38I have kept a room at home for this.
01:40I am studying in it.
01:42Sometimes I am studying with them.
01:44Martial arts training,
01:46dancing training,
01:48cycling training.
01:50When I got it at home,
01:52I saw a movie in which
01:54Akshay Kumar is doing a training.
01:56I saw him doing an exercise.
01:58I felt bad.
02:00I thought,
02:02I should also do an exercise.
02:04I should also move forward like Akshay Kumar.
02:06I was waiting for Akshay Kumar
02:08to meet me.
02:10When I went to Mr. Yusuf's house
02:12to learn martial arts,
02:14he said, why don't we work
02:16and teach martial arts.
02:18I said, okay, we will teach martial arts.
02:20He taught me martial arts at home.
02:22Then I moved forward.
02:24I have played at the national level
02:26in martial arts, dancing and cycling.
02:28I have played martial arts in Odisha.
02:30I have also gone to Odisha for cycling.
02:32Sir said,
02:34if you want to become an actor,
02:36you have to work in everything.
02:38Dancing, martial arts,
02:40you have to do action.
02:42You should know everything.
02:44Sir said,
02:46we will also teach you cycling.
02:48You have learned two steps.
02:50Sir said,
02:52we will also teach you cycling.
02:54Sir brought a small cycle.
02:56He taught me at home.
02:58He used to hold it.
03:00I used to push it.
03:02Then I got used to it.
03:04Then I left it for a day.
03:06I used to ride it.
03:08I was scared that it might fall.
03:10Then I got used to it.
03:12Then I started riding it.
03:14Then I started riding it.
03:16I ride a car as well as a motorcycle.
03:18I ride a car as well as a motorcycle.
03:22The first program was at the Zona level.
03:24The program was in Mardhama.
03:26Sir took me.
03:28I was very scared.
03:30I was afraid that I might go wrong.
03:32I danced with all my heart
03:34and also did martial arts.
03:36I got a first position there.
03:38I got a first position there.
03:40The CO tried to take me ahead.
03:42The CO tried to take me ahead.
03:44Then I went for District level.
03:46I was selected,
03:48instead of State level.
03:50I was better on National level.
03:52I went to play on the National level
03:54in the city, Odisha.
03:56It's very hard.
03:58When I played at the State level,
04:00it was much easier.
04:02It's very hard to get the first position
04:04because I had to compete a lot
04:06because of the state level.
04:08it was very difficult to get position.
04:10So I was better on the National level.
04:12I have always wanted to be an actor. I want to work in a film industry. I want to go to
04:19Mumbai and work there. I want to work in a film industry. I have always wanted to be
04:26an actor. I want to study. I want to work hard. I will continue to work hard. I will
04:33work even harder than I have been so far. I hope that God will continue to take me forward.
04:39When I first came home, my family told me not to do this. They told me not to fall.
04:46Then I saw a video of my family. They are very happy. My family has also supported me.
04:53Whenever there is a problem, my family helps me. Whenever I have to bring clothes,
04:59my family helps me. My family has also tried a lot. They have told me that I can do
05:05it. So my family has supported me a lot. My message to them is that, to the disabled
05:12children, I request them to look after them like me or like Aamir. Try to increase your
05:19talent. Don't get bored at home. Don't do anything wrong. Don't get involved in
05:26wrong things. That's why I am requesting them to increase their talent. Everyone has
05:33a talent, they should try to take it forward. If you are a disabled child like me, then
05:40try hard to go forward. If you have the courage, then you can go far.
