Great initiative, but I hope this isn't just a one-time PR stunt. Let's see if he continues these efforts throughout the year. Still, giving coolers to the needy in this heat is commendable. Kudos to him for using his birthday for a good cause.
Wah! A world champion who is also a mahant—that's unique. He's setting a beautiful example for India's youth. Bhagwan unki mummy-papa ko khush rakhe. I hope other celebrities take note and do something similar rather than just posting Instagram stories. 😊
This is a small but meaningful gesture. It's refreshing to see a sports figure use his success to give back. The Delhi summer is brutal, and those coolers might save lives. I wish more people in power would follow this lead. Bravo! 👏
I respect the sentiment, but why not provide something more sustainable like electric fans or even water coolers that use less energy? Still, any help in this heat is welcome. Good on him for doing something, unlike the politicians who just give speeches.
So heartwarming to see a champion who hasn't forgotten the common man. Chandni Chowk is so crowded during summers, and these coolers will bring real relief. Hats off to Mahant Gaurav Sharma for showing that true strength is in helping others. ❤️
