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. Sometimes, laughter truly is the best medicine.
