Quaden Bayles, the 9-year-old-boy from Australia who was bullied by his classmates due to his dwarfism, expressed his wish to meet Mollywood actor Guinness Pakru. Recently Quaden made headlines after a video went viral showing the boy crying as he asks for a knife so that he could stab himself to the heart after being subject to body shaming due to his dwarfism.
"This is the impact bullying has on a 9-year-old kid that just wants to go to school, get an education and have fun. But every single frickin day, something happens. Another episode, another bullying, another thorn, another name-calling," his mom said in the background.
After watching the video, Guinness Pakru extended his support to the boy and consoled him by narrating his own experience on being subject to body shaming.
Now, Quaden has expressed his gratitude to the actor through Australian media SBS Malayalam. Representing Quaden, his mother Yarakka Bayles talked to the media and revealed his son’s wish to meet Guinness Pakru over a video call. Yarakka also disclosed that Quaden wants to become an actor like Pakru.
People around the globe have extended support to the boy after his video went viral. Among them, Guinness Pakru has given a heart-touching message to the boy as motivating him to fight against all negativity over his dwarfism.
“Dear son, I also cried once like you. But that tears were the fuel that motivated me to reach heights. When you cry, your mother will be defeated. Remember these lines, no one can douse the fire on the furnace and the fire in you. I dedicate this note for all those who are going through similar situations,” wrote Guinness Pakru.
