Tanya Sharma, who just turned 21, celebrated her birthday by spending time with the poor and teaching them English.
Tanya, who is currently seen as Meera in the popular soap opera 'Saath Nibhaana Saathiya', visited an academy in Mumbai where poor children are given free education.
"I wanted to do something special on my 21st birthday. So I decided to celebrate it with those who need love. I visited this small academy. I got emotional when I saw kids there," Tanya said.
"I played with them and gave the children some books, school bags, tiffin and pencil boxes. I also became their English teacher for the day," Tanya added.
Apart from the visit, Tanya is also planning to throw a party for her 'Saath Nibhaana Saathiya' co-stars.
The show, aired on Star Plus, also features Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Rupal Patel.
