A movie which inspired my the most and that is none other than “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”.
An actor which inspired me the most is “Farhan Akhtar” and he played a fabulous role in the movie “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”.

I still remember the day when I was in 10th standard. I was checking updates on social media, out of nowhere a notification came on my mobile screen- 5 books that you must read and this book is one of those.
After watching it’s eye-catching title, I could not resist myself to download it in the form of PDF, and thus, I got it free of cost.

I could not resist myself to purchase it. So, the very next morning and went to the store to buy that book.

when and where Milkha Singh was born and rise respectively. Even though he was born in Pakistan, but rise in India.
When he was 16, he was sent to Jail due to breaking of laws.

The most interesting this is that during his job, he also participated in Common Wealth Game. And he is the only person who stood first in 400 m of hurdle race. He is not only won Gold Medal but also honoured with PadamShree.

So, this was the conversation that I had with my friend.
