Actor-turned-motivational speaker Vickrant Mahajan has started an initiative to inspire children of the country through his organisation, 'Superpositivity Movement' and help them overcome failures.

Mahajan, who made Bollywood debut from film "Challo Driver", said he drew inspiration from his own failures after his film flopped at the box office, while struggles in his personal life also continued.

The former 'Mr India' then decided to embark on a journey to find his true calling as a motivational speaker and started the campaign 'Superpositivity India' from Turtuk, the northernmost village in India and as a part of it, he drove 20,000 kms across India, covering all 29 states and 7 Union territories.
 

"With so much negativity around, I was looking for positivity. Hence, to get inner peace, I went to Ladakh. I lived in a monastery there and focused my energies on intense meditation. This helped me realise my goal in life," Mahajan said.

"Superpositivity Movement," is an effort to inspire people, specially the young students, and make them realise that life is beautiful and has to be lived to the fullest.

"The campaign started on September 1, 2015, from Turtuk (in Leh district) and finished on December 10 in Port Blair, wherein I tried to motivate one lakh students over 100 days throughout India absolutely free of cost as my service to my country and people," he said.

Mahajan claimed that he is the first person to drive across all the states and union territories of the country in one continuous road trip.

"I might be a drop in the ocean, but I have decided that by making the world around me happier, I am definitely going to count," he said.
