Ambition is the path to success and persistence is the vehicle you arrive in And if the vehicle is an autorickshaw, then, the driver has to be Vishal Netke. For starters, Vishal is a spunky autorickshaw driver from Mumbai, who won a cool Rs.10 lakhs in 10 ka Dum, a game show hosted by Salman Khan.
Whatever be the case, Vishal is one happy man today as he can now fulfill his long cherished dream of taking his mother in an airplane. Not just that, he has also 'made' enough money on the show so as to take his younger sister and her husband along on a trip abroad and to help her buy a small flat of her own!
What was so striking about Vishal is the fact that he was an English speaking autorickshaw driver, who, in his trademark humor, also revealed how he had saved money in a piggy bank to see his first ever movie. Ironically, the film was none other than the Salman-starrer Hum Aapke Hain Kaun at Liberty theatre, where he had gone with his mother and younger sister. "Until then nobody ever thought of taking us out to a film", said an emotional Vishal, who also added (read 'promised') that he will not to give up driving his autorickshaw in the city that made his dreams come true.
Way to go, Vishal!
