India TV Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma attended the SRK Parivar Utsav in Surat on Sunday, where he not only took part in a lively mock court session but also moved audiences with a deeply personal story from his life. During the event organised by the SRK family, Sharma candidly answered questions from the audience as part of the mock courtroom setup. Earlier in the day, he also addressed the Vadil Vandana programme at Surat’s Kiran Hospital, where he commended the hospital staff for their selfless service and shared a heartfelt memory linked to his late mother’s illness.
'Had such facilities existed, my mother might have been alive'
Speaking before a gathering of hundreds at Kiran Hospital, Sharma highlighted the value of accessible medical services today. Recalling a difficult period in his life, he said, “When my mother had a brain tumour, we didn’t have facilities like this. Had an institution like this existed back then, my mother might have been alive today. Listening to people here today reminded me how important it is to serve others, something this hospital is doing commendably.” His words left many in the audience visibly emotional.
