The story of Babar and Haris Suleman continues to touch so many people today. No doubt they left a legacy and have changed the lives of so many impoverished children who might not have had the access to education. This is the spirit by which they led their lives. They are the true winners. But it's a delight to know that some in the film industry awarded the film too.
