Chhota Bheem is making his birthday extra special by celebrating it with some of India’s less fortunate kids. Chhota Bheem and POGO pulled out all the stops to give the kids of Nanhi Chhaan Foundation, Amritsar, the time of their lives. The event organized at DAV Public School saw over 180 kids assembled enthusiastically to celebrate Chhota Bheem’s birthday. The kids were elated throughout the whole event from watching some of the best episodes of Chhota Bheem, to playing games, to receiving ample POGO goodies from Chhota Bheem.
The highlight of the day was the special act put together by Chhota Bheem in which he called a few lucky kids to perform with him. The event climaxed with the kids cutting Chhota Bheem’s birthday cake, singing happy birthday for him and receiving photographs with their superhero. When asked, every kid replied, that Chhota Bheem is their favourite superhero and this was the best birthday party they had ever attended!
Monica Tata, General Manager, Entertainment Networks, South Asia, Turner International India Pvt.

We hope to continue to entertain and excite our loyal audiences in future and keep them smiling through various activities and events.”
