 "Watch: Young Army aspirant whose midnight run went viral wants to be away from spotlight")
The 19-year-old boy, whose 10-km midnight-run story made headlines, urged everyone to just let him concentrate on his dream. Pradeep Mehra was first spotted by filmmaker Vinod Kapri who filmed him while he was running down a Noida road in middle of the night. His video clip made Pradeep an internet sensation overnight. Many people also came forward to help the young man who aims to join the Indian Army. Kapri met the youngster again to see how he was doing and how he is dealing with the fame and attention, particularly from media. The filmmaker shared a video of his meeting with Mehra in which the youngster can be seen saying that he does not want attention as it might distract him from achieving his goal. Sharing his views on the fame and popularity he has been getting, Mehra said that he does not want to appear as if he is flying too high. Focused on his goal, the 19-year-old said that the fame will distract him from reaching his goal. “If they give me too much fame, I won’t be able to focus on my goal. Hence, I don’t want to do too many interviews,” Pradeep Mehra could be heard saying in the video. During the conversation, Mehra said something that can inspire many. He said that his success should make noise and not his hard work. “Mehnat jo honi hai na meri, woh sunsaan mein honi chahiye, kamiyabi ki honi chahiye shor (My success should make noise and not the hard work I am doing),” Mehra said.
