New Delhi [India], August 30: Showcasing an inspiring blend of community spirit and generosity, philanthropists Nikhil M. Ruparel and Preeti B. Choksi marked the 25th Annual Initiative of their NGO ‘Joining Hands’ with grandeur. The evening beautifully intertwined the spiritual fervor of Ganapati celebrations with the devotional essence of a Mata Ki Chowki, creating an atmosphere of faith and festivity.

A key highlight of the event was the distribution of essential stationery kits—a significant step in the NGO’s ongoing mission to ensure that financial challenges never become a barrier to a child’s education. The milestone celebration drew an illustrious gathering of eminent personalities and celebrated figures, all coming together to endorse and amplify this noble cause.

The event was graced by the politician Asif Zakaria and many celebrities. Actress Poonam Pandey generously donated wheelchairs to specially-abled individuals, providing them with greater mobility and independence. In a similar act of kindness, Rajeev Mehta and Anang Desai, aka Praful and Bapuji from ‘Khichdi’, distributed stationery to the needy students supported by the NGO, directly contributing to their educational journey.

The glamour of the entertainment industry also shone brightly at the event, with a host of well-known celebrities extending their support. The crowd was delighted to see familiar faces like Kalyug fame Smiliee Suri, Kyunki Saas Kabhi Bahu Thi actress Lucky Mehta, Bigg Boss fame Hema Sharma, noted TV star Rajev Paul with his partner Chandni and Gargi Kundu of the reality show ‘Society’.

The 25th Annual Initiative of Nikhil Puparel and Preeti Choksi was not just a celebration; it was a powerful reminder of how collective effort can bring about positive change.
