Impressed with Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir’s initiative ‘Ek Asha’, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan extended his helping hand for the noble cause. Gautam Gambhir opened a community kitchen in Delhi’s West Patel Nagar area under the campaign ‘Ek Asha’ aimed at feeding the poor. Shah Rukh took to his Twitter and asked his Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir how could he add to the initiative.

Earlier, KKR skipper Gambhir took to his official Twitter handle to announce the launch of his campaign ‘Ek Asha’.

“Won World Cups, Won IPLs, beaten opponents. Now time 2 win hearts & beat hunger. Community Kitchen #1 by Gautam Gambhir Foundation,” Gambhir posted on his Twitter page.

In an another tweet, he wrote: “Compassion in my heart, a plate in my hand and a prayer on my lips ‘No one should sleep hungry’ #ggf #communitykitchen1.”

Gambhir was recently in the news when he failed to make it into 15-member Test squad which is currently touring Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal is set to hit the silver screens on August 4. The film also stars actress Anushka Sharma in the lead role.
