Varun Dhawan Turns Teacher for Kids this Children’s Day, Actor Explains to a Bunch of Children How Iron and Zinc can be Grown Right into the Roti and Rice they Consume Everyday

Kids ask the best questions, and they had plenty for Varun Dhawan! This Children’s Day, the actor switched roles by turning into a teacher for a bunch of curious kids, explaining biofortification to them in a way that they can understand. In a recently released video, a part of Better Nutrition’s Campaign, Varun Dhawan is seen interacting with kids and explaining to them how iron and zinc can be grown right into the rice, roti and dal that they consume everyday.

“Jo apna normal khana hain na, woh super khana bann jata hain because of biofortification. Atta, dal chawal – usmein you get more zinc, more iron and more protein only because of biofortification. Better nutrition matlab better khana,” he says while talking to the kids.

The actor emphasises that parents spend ample time worrying about whether the kids have eaten enough, but pay limited heed to what’s actually in their food. Varun Dhawan said, “Becoming a father changed how I look at food. The first 1,000 days of a child’s life shapes so much of who they become. If the roti and rice our children eat every day can carry more iron and zinc, that’s such a simple way to give them a better start. Let’s feed our kids better.”

Biofortification tackles the problem at the source, and with Varun Dhawan coming together to make nutrition better, the actor is practically addressing the gap between what’s sown and what’s on the plate.
