‘I want to fly’, Rahul Gandhi takes 9-year-old towards his dream

Childhood often has

innocent dreams

. Dreams that are quite synonymous with what children often endow upon in their households or schools. Well, while on a campaign trail for the

United Democratic Front

led by Congress in Kerala,

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi

took cognisance of a child’s dream and actually took him for a spin!


In a

viral video

shared on Rahul Gandhi’s Instagram page, Gandhi is having a random chit-chat with 9-year-old Advait Sumesh at a tea stall in Keezhurkunnu, in Kannur district. Gandhi strives up a conversation with Advait who is carelessly sipping into his refreshment. On being asked what he aspires to become in life the little boy says, “I want to fly. My dream is to become a pilot”. Gandhi looks quite intrigued by Advait’s answer.

In the next shot in the video, Gandhi takes Advait inside his chartered plane and the child is struck with awe. According to sources, Gandhi himself made arrangements to arrange for the child and his father to come to Callicut Airport. “No dream is too big. We've taken the first step to make Advait's dream come true. Now it is our duty to create a society & a structure that will give him every opportunity to fly”, wrote Rahul Gandhi in the caption. He shows the console to the child and Advait intriguingly asks questions about how the plane flies.

With more than 1.5 lakh views, the video has gone viral and many users are impressed with Rahul Gandhi’s humbleness and composure while dealing with a child.
