Taapsee Pannu joins hands with Hemkunt Foundation to donate fans, coolers amid stifling heat

New Delhi, Apr 13 (UNI) Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu has partnered with the Hemkunt Foundation in a humanitarian initiative aimed at providing tangible relief to socio-economically disadvantaged communities.
The Foundation has undertaken the distribution of electric fans and water coolers in economically disadvantaged areas, particularly slums and marginalised settlements where access to even basic cooling appliances remains a distant reality. The drive aims to bring immediate comfort to residents grappling with daily heat-related hardships.
Speaking about her involvement, the actress shared, “We often take basic comforts like a fan or a cooler for granted, but for so many people, especially in this unbearable heat, even a small breeze can feel like a blessing. Being part of this initiative moved me deeply. It’s not just about giving—it’s about standing with people, understanding their pain, and doing what little we can to ease it.
Hemkunt Foundation’s Director Harteerath Singh underscored, “When temperatures cross 40 degrees, it becomes almost impossible to stay in slum areas where there’s barely any ventilation or shade. People suffer in silence without a fan or cooler to help them get through the day. That’s what moved us to start this initiative—to bring some comfort, some relief, and a message that they are not alone. It’s about restoring dignity and humanity in the smallest ways.”
The Foundation has announced plans to extend this campaign in the coming weeks reaching more heat-stricken areas with essential help.
