Shekhar Suman's is making a special trip to the US. This time, he has a serious mission. The TV actor is collecting donations from NRIs so that he can fulfill his long- cherished dream of building a hospital for children in his hometown Patna.

The actor, who lost his first born, nine-year-old Aayush, to a chronic heart ailment in 1994, has never been able to get over the incident. The death of his son has continuously haunted the actor. That is the reason why he wants to build a hospital for children. There is no children's hospital in Bihar which specializes in heart diseases so he has decided to fulfill that need. The hospital will be a charitable one for children of parents who cannot afford treatment. Shekhar has already spoken to the Bihar Chief Minister and also a lot of medical organizations in different parts of the country. The actor is now touring the US to collect donations from NRIs. He has received a good response from them in his bid to collect money.
