The police officers, stunned by his maturity and honesty, praised Yasin and commended his parents for raising a son with such deeply rooted values. His story soon found its way across social media, resonating with people from all walks of life. In a digital world tired of negativity, Yasin’s honesty lit up the feed with hope.
Among those touched by Yaseen’s story was Superstar Rajinikanth, a name synonymous with humility, wisdom, and timeless impact. Moved by the boy’s sincerity, Rajinikanth personally invited Yaseen and his family to his home. In a meeting that quickly became iconic, the superstar embraced Yasin, who came dressed in a symbolic police uniform. The message was clear: this boy didn’t just return cash he returned faith in humanity.
"This boy is the true hero," Rajinikanth said. "At a time when values are fading, he has shown us what real strength and character look like."
"Since he is studying in government school, whatever he desires to study I will sponsor him. He is a big inspiration to everyone and every child," says Rajini.
Adding that in today’s age people cheat and kill for even little money Rajnikant praised Yasin saying ” What honesty, its a great quality’.
