Social activist’s heartening take on viral Blinkit-Zomato campaign melts hearts online. Watch
Social activist Harteerath Singh Ahluwalia hopped onto the viral Blinkit-Zomato ‘doodh-kheer’ campaign with heartwarming placards.
A few days ago, a billboard collaboration between Blinkit and Zomato went viral on social media, so much so that several brands, including KitKat, Hajmola and Netflix, shared their own versions of it. Not just this, the police departments also hopped onto the trend to create awareness among the masses. Now, a social activist’s take on the viral trend with heartwarming placards is doing the rounds on the Internet and is winning netizens’ hearts left, right and centre.
“Be it war-stricken areas like the Syrian borders or the remotest of towns, Guru Nanak’s langar is available for everyone regardless of caste, colour, gender and creed! The same goes for protecting the honour of those with a blanket- since the 14th century!” wrote social activist Harteerath Singh Ahluwalia while sharing the video. He started his caption with the hashtag #SinghWithASign. In the video, Harteerath stands in front of Blinkit-Zomato billboards and holds cardboard placards. One of the placards reads, “Thand lagegi, Kambal denge (If you’ll feel cold, we’ll give you blankets).” “Khana mangoge, Langar denge (If you’ll ask for food, we’ll give you a free meal),” reads another.
