He urged the Indian diaspora to help education become the strongest weapon to fight all the problems of the world.
The innovative teacher further said that an educated world would give rise to a better place as education leads to greater understanding and compassion. His huge success and immense contribution to the society was the inspiration behind the making and success of his biopic starring Hrithik Roshan.
