Punjabi singer and actor Parmish Verma drew widespread praise after pausing his concert in Sri Ganganagar to assist a young child who was found crying alone in the crowd, according to a viral video that has sparked conversations about child safety at public events.
The incident took place during Verma’s performance at Ramlila Maidan as part of the ‘Kick the Drugs-Pickup Sports’ campaign. While the concert was underway, security personnel noticed a frightened child near the stage without any apparent supervision.
For the child’s safety, security staff brought him onto the stage. Verma halted the performance after noticing the situation and sought to determine what had happened. He comforted the child and appealed to both his team and the audience to help locate the child's parents.
