“Many people asked me how will I celebrate my birthday this year. It has been said in the Shastras. People live for themselves, but those who live for philanthropy is the true meaning of life. Laborers in Uttarakhand need support the most. On my 64th birthday, I am making a humble contribution of Rs 64 lakh for them,” Rajat Sharma said in his tweet.

कई लोगों ने पूछा कि इस बार जन्मदिन कैसे मनाओगे. शास्त्रों में कहा गया है “अपने लिए तो सब जीते हैं, लेकिन जो परोपकार के लिए जिए,जीना उसी को कहते हैं“आज सबसे ज़्यादा ज़रूरत उत्तराखंड के पीड़ित मज़दूरों की है. 64वें जन्मदिन पर मैं उनके लिए 64 लाख रुपए का विनम्र योगदान दे रहा हूं.
