An inspirational cover of an Eminem song posted on YouTube has made a 12-year-old boy an internet star.

Sparsh Shah's Indian-infused version of "Not Afraid" has been viewed more than 20 million times and has won praise from famous R&B singers and Bollywood celebrities.

Sparsh said that until a few months ago he鈥檇 鈥渘ever listened to rap鈥� but hopes the video can inspire others. 鈥淣o matter who you are, where you鈥檙e from and how bad life may be for you, you can do anything, you can believe it and you can achieve it,鈥� he said.

The 12-year-old has a brittle bone disease which means he uses a wheelchair and has 鈥渢he constant burden of breaking bones鈥�. He said his disease brings 鈥渁 little more suffering鈥� but his attitude is to 鈥渟hove it off鈥� and get on with life.
