Mika Singh celebrates Sikh guru’s birth anniversary

To mark the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh guru, Mika Singh organised a langar for people of different faiths and religions. In Mumbai, the langar was held at two gurdwaras and also at the Haji Ali Dargah. The singer organised a langar at a gurdwara in Delhi, too.

Says Mika, "Guru Gobind Singhji was a visionary who was also a warrior, poet, thinker and philosopher. His birth anniversary holds the highest honour in our hearts. With his blessings, I have got whatever I wanted, that too, in such short time. It's time to give back. By organising langars at different religious places of worship, I'm only spreading his message of love and peace."

The singer-turned-actor's charity organisation trains women to master skills — like stitching, tailoring or making novelty items — that can be pursued professionally, making them independent. There are also plans to come up with a 24X7 helpline for women in distress after the Delhi gangrape incident. "There should be instant action and, along with my organisation, I'm working towards it. The first helpline will start in Delhi, followed by other cities," informs Mika.
