The Doctor Treating Patients With Charlie Chaplin Movies

In India, Charlie Chaplin continues to be popular—so popular, in fact, that there's a whole fan club dedicated to celebrating and impersonating the famous comic actor. The Charlie Circle Foundation is the brainchild of Ashok Sukhumal Aswani, a doctor practicing ayurvedic medicine in the town of Adipur. Ashok is such a devotee of Chaplin's work that he even prescribes his DVDs to patients as a way to raise their spirits.
