Muzaffarnagar: Dad in Jail & Deserted by Mom, Homeless Kid Lives on Footpath With Stray Dog

A couple of days back, a picture of a homeless boy sleeping with a dog on a street went viral after a local photo journalist posted it on social media. Identified as Ankit, the 9-year-old boy has been living on the footpath and has been earning his livelihood working at a tea stall in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar.

Sadly enough, the kid has been forced to make the footpath his home as Ankit’s father is behind the bars and his mother has abandoned him. When asked of his family, he knows no one and doesn’t know where he is from.  The only family he has is a street dog named Danny, who never leaves his side.

Speaking to media persons, the child said, “My mother is not here and my father is in jail. I have a pet dog that I found 20 days ago.” When asked how he was able to survive and at the same time feed the dog, Ankit said, “I sold cardboards and earn some money from it. I was able to give milk and bread to the dog as I wash cups at a tea stall.”

Singer Kumar Sanu has to clarify for not doing enough for kids despite divorce

Veteran singer Kumar Sanu's son Jaan Kumar Sanu got evicted from the controversial reality show 'Bigg Boss 14'. Jaan made some comments about his father not being available and that his mother brought him up single-handedly. 

In an interview with Bombay Times, legendary singer Kumar Sanu opened up on his divorce from first wife Rita Bhattacharya. He said: "It is sad that Jaan is saying all this about me when he met me right before he went into the Bigg Boss house. He says I haven’t given them anything, but the fact is that during the divorce, I gave Ritaji what she had asked for, including my very first bungalow."

"The court had given custody of our three children to her because they were quite young. She has raised them single-handedly, which is commendable. I used to meet them under restrictions for a limited time. Later, after I remarried, I moved out of India because I did not have much work in Mumbai. But whenever I visited India, I would get in touch with my sons Jessy, Jeeko, and Jaan. We went out for dinner a few times. They were busy with their lives, but whenever they contacted me, I would try to be available if I was in Mumbai. We were in touch over calls. My work is such that I can never be in one place for a long duration. I can’t even stay with my wife Saloni and my two daughters for a long span of time, as I have to travel all over the world for concerts."
