    Dear Bharat Shetty, am with you. what you said is correct. there are people who are struggling for 3 square meals. charity begins at home. first the community be served. Dear Vijay Shetty - your comment is irrelevant. do you know anything about bharat, he may be serving lot of people in his families, people of kateel society. hands that serve are much holier than lips that pray. let us serve the society to the needy people. be it 1 rupee or 1 dollor or 1 dhiram, which is why we are called as human beings. otherwise no diffrence between human and other animals. we all are commonly doing what animals are doing. We have god given gr8 thing which is "power of descrimination".may god bless all.

    The comment of Mr. Vijay Shetty on Mr.Bharath Shetty is unfortunate. I fail to understand how people can make such sweeping allegations without any evidence!!!!

    Congrats to the Sangha for organizing this event...and also congrats to Dev and Avantika for walking away with the crowns..Hope that this is the beginning of a colorful career. Regarding the messages by Bharath and Vijay on taking our community forward, we are lucky to have people like them in our community. We need to channelise these energies into something more constructive rather than debating. I am sure a lot is already being done. But there are many families who have bright children but dont have the means to accomplish their dreams. So lets know what are the existing organizations already doing so that we can lend a helping hand.

    Hi friejnds, specially Vijay and Bharat The charity and these type of events both are important to us. Events to encourage our younger generation(note that they are 18 yrs old) and charity for some good deeds. My opinion is to conduct these events for charity purpose. if there is no entrance fee, atleast the VIP seat members can donate some funds for charity.

    Very nice thought of your Mr. Bharat Shetty. Let’s start from ‘you’ the charity work. Just let us know since how long you have been to your native ‘Kateel’. I’m sure not in recent 20 years ! It’s very easy to comment, living in US. Just because of some who are residing outside, the dowry system still exists in our community. Coz no one knows what they are doing there, still they are demanding hefty d….just because they are living in US !

    There is nothing wrong in these events But I would have appreciated if this  money was spent helping poor families of the same community who are really struggling for the daily means.
