AN ardent advocate of women's empowerment, Vidya Balan brought cheer to Rajasthan's first female coolie, Manju, by taking up her back-breaking work for Saturday and handing her the money she made by carrying passengers' luggage and clicking pictures with onlookers. This initiative was part of a television show titled 'Mission Sapne'.
