“When I met him eight days back, he told me about his parents sending tiffins to the officials outside the galaxy, so he told me: Let’s reach out to everyone who is 24/7 for us in the field, be it police bandobasts, nakabandis, cleaning staff of BMC, health workers in containment zones,” said Rahul explaining how they got the idea and inspiration behind the initiative.

The packet contains a main meal, biscuits and a water bottle. Salman Khan is not only ensuring the quality of the food, but he also made a suggestion to add chicken nuggets, boiled eggs, chicken biryani, veg biryani and Vitamin C-based juices in the box to make the box more wholesome and protein-rich.
