Vivek Oberoi launched his 4 year old fan from Chandigarh ‘Rasha road to Nutrition’ educational book at Granth book store, Juhu Mumbai on Sept 8 th. The book is a series of 5 books containing stories about healthy eating habits for children by Euro books. These books have been introduced with the intention to encourage kids to eat healthy and nutritious food. This has been done in a very practical manner where they meet various characters along with the principal characters, Rasha and Olive the doll.

Says Vivek, “It’s an interesting and a very fun way of teaching the kids. It will make it easier for mothers to teach their children to eat nutritional and healthy food.” The huge fan following that Vivek has amongst children was quite evident as the young ones were all ears as Vivek recited to them a small paragraph. His presence had the little kids really excited. Few of the lucky one's got to sit with him as he read out to them.

Shalini Sharma, mother of Rasha, who conceptualized the book along with her illustrator & interior designer friend Shehnaz David who are based in Chandigarh, said, “Rasha was feeling completely out of this world when Vivek consented and launched the book. She is Vivek's biggest fan. It was a dream come true for her.”

She added, “The books have been written keeping in mind the various food groups which constitute a balanced diet. Moreover, the message of healthy eating is brought out in the form of endearing stories, rhyming verses and songs. Colorful and attractive illustrations help the child to understand the stories better.”

The kids dressed up as fruits and vegetables and added flavor to the evening. The kids also gathered around Vivek posing for photographs and his autographs.
