Delhi Sikh Boy Receives Help From Industrialist Anand Mahindra After His Video Went Viral

A heart-wrenching video of a 10-year-old Sikh boy named Jaspreet from Delhi had surfaced. In the viral video, he was seen selling rolls at a street-side stall. The boy took over his father’s stall after the latter died of brain tuberculosis.

A food vlogger captured the boy’s heartbreaking tale in a video that touched millions online.

In the video, the little boy was seen making a chicken egg roll in the video. When the vlogger asked him about his family and other details, Jaspreet shared that he lost his father recently and that his elder sister is 14 years old with a smile. He went on to share that his siblings live with their uncle in Delhi, their mother having moved to Punjab.
The young boy learnt culinary skills from his father. Upon being asked what keeps him going, he said, “I am the son of Guru Gobind Singh ji. Will fight as long as I have the strength.”

Soon after the video reached industrialist, Anand Mahindra, he sought boy’s contact details, adding that the Mahindra Foundation will explore how they can support his education.

Taking to his X, Mahindra wrote, “Courage, thy name is Jaspreet/ But his education shouldn’t suffer. I believe, he’s in Tilak Nagar, Delhi. If anyone has access to his contact number please do share it. The Mahindra foundation team will explore how we can support his education.”
