Mumbai, Dec 19: The success is not measured in terms of wealth. The self confidence in an individual is everything. It’s unfortunate that the corrupt in the society are being felicitated along with the genuine achievers in the same stage, said former CJI and Karnataka lokayukta Nitte Sathosh Hegde.
Hegde was speaking after inaugurating fifth annual day celebrations of Mulund Bunts during a function held at Kalidas Natya Mandir, Mulund (West), here on Saturday December 18 evening. The Bunts community has made their strides in filmdom, hotel industry, mega industries including legal and other spheres in the country, thereby provided employment opportunities to thousands of people due to their professional excellence, said Hegde.
The new generation of Bunts has bright future, while the parents are urged to remind their children over the true happiness. The wealth gained through corrupt ways will not last longer, while the hard earned wealth legally will remain in the family for generations, Hegde added.
Further Hegde urged the community brethrens to be a role model in the society by earning within the framework of law which will give them happiness.
Mulund Bunts president Nagriguttu Vivek Shetty presided.
