Mumbai: Actor Mukesh Khanna, known for playing Shaktimaan, has launched a weekly langar programme called 'Shaniwar Bhoj' in Kandivali to feed underprivileged people. Through his Mukesh Khanna Foundation, he plans to serve meals to 100 to 150 people every Saturday for the next year, and may extend the initiative to Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Khanna said feeding the hungry is deeply rooted in Indian culture and urged more people to join the effort. A board has been put up at the venue to spread awareness. The initiative is a small beginning through his foundation, he added.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Celebrity-led langars are not new in India, but they rarely commit to a fixed weekly schedule for a full year. Mukesh Khanna's 'Shaniwar Bhoj' targets Kandivali, a densely populated western suburb of Mumbai with significant low-income pockets. The key challenge will be sustaining food quality and distribution consistently for 52 weeks without disruption. The next signal to watch is whether the actor follows through on his stated expansion to Tuesdays and Thursdays, which would double or triple the weekly beneficiaries.
