This initiative spread across quickly, people from the television and the entertainment industry stepped forward, generously marking their contribution to support the nation ans urging the others to also join.
Pankaj Dubey, a very well known author and screenwriter who is also the official spokesperson for this initiative expressing his gratitude also shares, "It's so encouraging to share that with the support of friends from Bollywood and even other walks of life and the amazing execution by The Art of Living Foundation , we have reached out to more than 3.5 lakhs needy people in 9 states across India. We are constantly working and strive to touch 1 million people soon. We are thankful to everyone who is supporting our initiative #iStandWithHumanity for their love.”
Leading personalities like Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor, Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn and many others from the industry have joined hands and taken part actively in this initiative.
This initiative is not just limited to one city, it has even reached Delhi, providing for the daily wage workers with food and ensuring that they can be at peace.
