What would be the first image when you hear about Heroes — Tom Cruise!? Isn't it?
We have a hero who is bigger than Tom Cruise or any other actor. Meet Nazim Shaikh, popularly known as Nazim Aquaman from Mumbai, India. He worked as Jal Rakshak (Lifeguard) Till now, he has saved 300 lives of people from drowning.
A man who keeps Mumbai safe, with a desire to save people's lives. For the past 35 years, he has been a lifeguard, helping Mumbai police and people. We barely notice people's bravery until it hits the spotlight, but what about heroes like Nazim Shaikh? They don't need a spotlight. They are the ones.

There could be an end number of possibilities, deadly possibilities, if he won't be there to save people.
We have always heard that there is something special about Mumbai, some said food, skyscrapers, and what not, but now we know it's about people. They made this city special.
He said that" I can't stop waves, but I surely can save lives." In the world where people are fighting over languages and spiritual practices, he didn't see religion, he saw people and gave it all to help, awarded with the Bravery award and many more, neither his dedication nor his passion felt small.
Heroes are the ones who speak with courage and take actions to help people who are in need in any form.
