"Papa says our country is enjoying the launch of the new season of KBC on Sony Entertainment Television - the show that lets many middle-class and lower-middle-class Indians dream big.
I don't understand most of what papa and mumma are discussing, but comfortably stationed in my mumma's lap, I gaze into the TV set. And I see a pretty aunty in a blue dress talking to a handsome uncle. And guess what, they are talking about me!"
Handsome Uncle (Amitabh Bachchan): Farah is... There is a baby called Ayansh Madaan. He is ill. And Farah is playing to help him.
Pretty Aunty (Farah Khan): Yes, sir. Before Ayansh turns 2 he needs Zolgensma.
"Yes they are right. Mumma and papa keep talking about the same thing. To tell you the truth, I am not even 2 years old and I can't pronounce the name of this medicine. But I think it is something important. When I get breathless and start choking, I meet my doctor uncle at AIIMS. He also talks about this medicine. But I am just a baby, what can I say? If they give me the Z medicine, like a good boy, I will take the injection although I might cry a little.
But most of the time, I cry a lot even though I am a very good boy and I love my mumma- papa. What can I do? I try to talk but I can't speak. Even my cries are becoming less louder. I try to hold mumma, but my fingers don't grip. I try to crawl, but my legs can't stay erect. And I fall on my face. Even when I try to sit, I fall. I have seen a lot of kids on TV. They can do all the things I can't. They don't even have trouble going potty like I do. It is so painful!
Sometimes when I sleep, I become breathless. I can't eat because I choke on milk. They say babies like to sleep, play, eat and laugh. I can't do any of these things. But I am a good boy! Maybe I do need this medicine the pretty aunty, handsome uncle, doctor uncle and mumma-papa talk about."
Pretty Aunty (Farah Khan): Ayansh has SMA. It is a rare disorder that is the #1 reason for infant deaths across the world. The muscles in the body start wasting, causing a complete loss of body function. The only way to stop the spread of SMA and save Ayansh is with the world's most expensive injection. It will cost about Rs 16 crore in Indian currency.
Handsome Uncle (Amitabh Bachchan): 1 medicine!
Pretty Aunty (Farah Khan): Yes, one dose of the medicine can save him. We want to save this child, sir.
Handsome Uncle (Amitabh Bachchan): Farah, I will also contribute to this boy.
I request the maximum number of people to come forward and donate with open hearts for this sweet child.
“Well, I think I am kind of special. They are all still talking about me and showing my photos on TV. I don't know why but Mumma is holding me tighter today and crying. Papa too is crying. Maybe I am really sick and papa-mumma is scared for me as I will soon be 2 years old because I was born on March 18, 2020. Yes, that’s my happy birthday! But my doctor uncle thinks I will say goodbye to my family by then. But I don't want them to cry. I don't want to cry either. I am a good boy and that's why I want to live long.
I think it will be nice if you listen to the pretty aunty and handsome uncle on TV. They say their names are Amitabh Bachchan and Farah Khan. And I am the kid they want you to help. I am Ayansh Madaan.”
