The serene instrumental rendition of the timeless classic “Kisi Ki Muskurahaton Pe Ho Nisar” filled the auditorium with emotion, mirroring his belief in spreading happiness through selfless acts. A heartfelt drama followed, portraying his compassion, visionary leadership, and his transformative work through the Adarsh Vidyalaya Project, empowering underprivileged children to embrace their dreams and unlock their true potential.
