Popular actor Hrithik Roshan, known for his Krish films, has released a Braille-Tactile children’s book series titled Tactabet, which will be available in Hindi and English. The series comes from the group that also publishes an English lifestyle Braille magazine that will also feature Hrithik and his Kaabil co-star, Yami Gautam’s interviews, making them the first actors to be published in it. They play a visually impaired couple in Kaabil, which is produced by Rakesh Roshan’s FilmKraft Productions, and directed by Sanjay Gupta.

Hrithik, when asked about the special alphabet books, says, ‘I was dumbfounded to see how fast visually impaired people read. It is normal and effortless. Tactabet brings tears to my eyes because it’s a heart-warming idea’. Upasana Makati, the editor of the Braille magazine, says, ‘Our journey with the visually impaired community began three years ago. We realised that there is a lot that needs to be done in the world of Braille’.
