Cartoon Network celebrates Kris's birthday with Pune kids on Children's Day

For the first time ever, Cartoon Network celebrated the birthday of super student and super hero Kris from Roll No. 21 on November 14! In addition to all the on-air hoopla, Kris made his birthday extra special by celebrating it with some of India’s less fortunate kids.

The children of Pune’s Bhartiya Samaj Seva Kendra (BSSK) were treated to a double surprise and party when Cartoon Network not only celebrated Kris’s birthday but also Children’s Day with them. The event brought a million watt smile to the faces of these young children, who deserve all the happiness.

Over 50 children were seen having a ball of a time watching Roll No. 21 episodes, playing games, winning special prizes and dancing. However, the highlight of the day was when Kris put up a stellar performance and involved kids in it! The event climaxed with the kids cutting Kris’s birthday cake and receiving photographs with their favourite superhero.

Krishna Desai, Sr. Director & Network Head - Kids, South Asia, Turner International India Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are excited to be celebrating the birthday of Kris from Cartoon Network India’s first originally animated series - Roll No. 21! Throughout the years, our aim has always been to give kids the ultimate experience by entertaining them on TV and beyond. By associating with Bhartiya Samaj Seva Kendra in Pune we hope to make Children’s Day special for these children and give them a memory to cherish with their favourite superhero.”

“We are very excited to have Cartoon Network celebrate Kris’s birthday with the children at BSSK on the occasion of Children’s Day. Kris brings an adventure for the children in their routine lives. It portrays a story to feel safe from the evil, to differentiate between good and bad, captures their imagination and thoughts to enjoy and have fun. Kris lights up a smile to every child’s face,” said Maina Shetty, Assistant Director, Bharatiya Samaj Seva Kendra.

Kids can also join in the celebrations of Children’s Day and Kris’s birthday by tuning in to Cartoon Network on November 14 from 12pm onwards for back-to-back Roll No. 21 episodes, movies and specials!
