was recently approached by the Indian Railways to create awareness among the
people about railway safety measures.
The prolific actor, on Sunday, was
specially invited by the Central Railway authorities to create awareness among
the people to respect their life and avoid crossing and trespassing of the
railway tracks and also maintain hygiene at railway platforms.
Besides

Hollywood.
On completing 37 years in the city of dreams, Kher said, "37 years
ago, I came to Mumbai - CST station with the dream to become an actor. I have
fond memories traveling by train during my struggling days. The local train is
rightly called the lifeline of Mumbai, with millions of people travelling daily.
I think it's our responsibility and duty to maintain it as it's a public
property."
"Coincidentally, after all these years, I've been invited by the
Central Railway to create awareness about railway safety measures and appeal to
Mumbaikars to avoid crossing railway tracks and keeping the premises clean. It
