Dia Mirza, Sonu Sood To Co-host ‘Bharat Ke Mahaveer’ Series To Celebrate COVID-19 Heroes

“The almighty has been benevolent to me, and has given me means to help others, and I tried in my small way, but some of the stories I have read are of individuals with limited means but who with their strong will moved mountains. “The world will know more about these heroes through Bharat Ke Mahaveer,” Sood, who is also the face of the campaign along with Mirza, added.

“Bharat Ke Mahaveer” celebrates stories of solidarity, where, whether through food distribution, providing medical care, donating their life savings or feeding a stray animal, citizens displayed a strong sense of togetherness in times of crisis. Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog, said the aim of the series is to put spotlight on those who despite overwhelming challenges, stepped up to help others.

Throughout this global crisis, we have seen countless stories of individuals across the country who have gone beyond their call of duty. Even in the Aspirational Districts, despite facing greater developmental challenges, people came forward in a tremendous display of humanity,” Kant said. “Bharat Ke Mahaveer” will air on Discovery Channel and also stream on Discovery Plus in November.
