Hingoli (Maharashtra): Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Saturday recalled how the film 'Swades' inspired his desire to give back to his village, saying his journey eventually brought him back from the US and allowed him to work for his community.
"Life really does come full circle sometimes," Dipke said in a post on X while reflecting on his long-standing connection with the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Bollywood film.
"As Fatima bi said to Kaveri Amma: 'Bata dena uss ladke ko apne hi pamein pighal jaana barf ka muqaddar hota hai...'," he wrote.
Dipke said he had grown up watching 'Swades' and had seen the film more than 100 times, with one particular sequence continuing to affect him.
"Grew up watching Swades and fell so deeply in love with the film that I must have watched it over 100 times by now. There's one part that has always stayed with me," he said.
Recalling the film's protagonist Mohan witnessing the hardships faced by a poor family and later seeing a child selling water at a railway station instead of attending school, Dipke said the scene had always moved him.
