Riteish Deshmukh has opened up about the unexpected act of kindness he experienced outside a restaurant, when he found himself cashless while trying to help a child. The actor said the incident stayed with him, particularly because it came from a paparazzo whom he had never met before.

Riteish was left cashless while trying to help a child

recalled that the child was selling something for Rs 100, but he had no cash on him. “We were walking out, and there was a kid and you’ve become so cashless that even if you want to…He was selling some stuff, it was for 100 rupees. I wasn’t carrying money. Now, I don’t carry money because now it’s digital payment,” he said.
