Recalling the challenging times during the COVID-19 pandemic, he praised the community’s humanitarian efforts: “Mujhe yaad hai jab duniya corona se lad rahi thi, tab yeh humari Sikh community ne oxygen langar shuru kiya tha. Hospital ke bed se lekar oxygen supply tak aap log sab karte the.” He further acknowledged their global initiatives, noting how Gurudwaras opened their doors as quarantine centers and relief hubs during crises such as storms, floods, and earthquakes.
Summing up his admiration, Akshay beautifully remarked, “Main kehta hoon, ‘Jaha pe Sikh, vaha pe seva; jaha pe seva, vaha pe Sikh.’”
To mark the auspicious festival of Baisakhi, Akshay concluded the episode by sharing prasaad with the contestants and the audience, spreading joy and a sense of togetherness.
