Popular rapper Badshah paid a special visit to Tata Memorial Hospital on August 23. He surprised the children there with a performance. Badshah headlined a 30-minute live performance in the hospital's private auditorium.
Around 200 cancer patients ranging from the age group of 8-15 years attended the not-for-profit performance.
The performance reportedly included a first-of-its-kind duet between the music hitmaker and a 10-year-old cancer patient Ayub Siddq Mohd Shah, on Badshah's single ‘Heartless’ from his album ‘ONE’.
Badshah also interacted with all of the children in the pediatric ward of the hospital.
Badshah shared, ‘What are we in this world for if we can’t be of any use to others in some way? Thankfully, I have a rock-solid inner circle that teaches me to do better every single day and through hardships and setbacks I’ve learnt that kindness and humility take you way ahead in life than power and possessions.’
Dr. C.S. Pramesh, Director, Tata Memorial Hospital added: ‘Badshah is very popular amongst all of our patients, particularly children! The journey of cancer is not easy for the children and music helps them to forget their aches and pains and makes them happy and energetic! I am very grateful to Badshah for taking out time to come to the hospital and interact with the children and perform for them!’
Salman Khan has also engaged with Tata Memorial Hospital on several counts. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan fulfilled the wish of his 60-year-old fan from Kolkata who is battling cancer when he video-called her.
