India is a country of doers and achievers. While for some, their dreams do get fulfilled. And for a few others, their dreams merely remain dreams… unless an angel comes and assures to fulfil the dreams. Bollywood actor is one such person who has decided to become an angel in the life of Anisha Rout, a 11 year old aspiring girl cricketer. What is shocking about this aspiring cricketer is that she travels a whopping 80 kilometres a day for eight hours of cricket training seven times a week. She is pursuing her ambitions to emulate her hero who is none other than the Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, and become a professional player. Anisha was inspired to play cricket after watching the film Sushant Singh Rajput 's MS Dhoni: The Untold Story! At the age of 10 years, she played Under-15 Women's Cricket for Raigad District, Maharashtra. So far, she has, to her credit, of having scored 3 half-centuries in her previous matches. Anisha is presently playing for MIG Club under 15. She opens the batting for her team.

As for Anisha’s family her father works as a supervisor and is incessantly doing everything possible from his side in order to give wind beneath her wings so that she can fulfil her dreams. The hiccup, however is needs strong support so that she can provide Anisha with all the best facilities and equipment in order for her to be equipped enough to play for the country. When the ‘Gunday’ actor got to know about Anisha’s situation, he immediately decided to help her. He then spoke to Anisha and her father and said that he would like to sponsor her entire equipment cost till Anisha turns 18 years old.

Speaking about Arjun Kapoor’s help, a visibly emotional Prabhat said, “As parents, we want the best for our child but training to become a world-class cricketer is expensive. Anisha wants to earn the India cap and bring glory to our country like Sachin Tendulkar. As a father, I need to empower her so that she can try to do that and become an inspiration for others like her for generations to come. This help from Arjun Kapoor is a Godsend. It takes a lot of load off my shoulders and I can’t thank him enough. It is important for Anisha to get the best equipment as a cricketer and now she will have everything till she turns 18!”
