The girls, who would once be married by adolescence, now learn from coaches and know how to dribble.

While in Mumbai, the campaign found an edge with Lenovo and Ranbir Kapoor supporting it. A web series was created, namely Girls With Goals, to tell the world their unique story. The Firstpost Video team happen to land up on the sets and it has been a unique experience since. Sunil Chettry and Ranbir Kapoor were seen interacting with the girls, teaching them to fight after every lost battle. Considering these girls were once handed over with daily chores and household tasks, it was fascinating to see them dribble and pass. They had a pep talk with the actor and India’s top football player before they went to Spain, which only added to their confidence. This episode is our Slice Of Life coverage of the campaign and exclusive interactive sessions with the girls.
