Industrialist Anand Mahindra has shared a heartwarming update a few days after expressing his desire to help an elderly violinist whose story touched thousands online. Mahindra revealed that two members of his Kolkata office were able to trace Bhagwan Mallick and his wife and personally delivered his contribution to them.

Sharing a photograph and a video from the meeting on X, Mahindra thanked Soumyadip and his colleague for locating the couple. He added that Mallick expressed his gratitude by playing Saare Jahan Se Achha on the violin, describing the musician as "dignity and grace, personified."

The update comes days after Mahindra reposted a video originally shared by the X account Vertigo_Warrior, featuring Mallick's moving performance. At the time, Mahindra had said he wanted to contribute. However, he noted that the video did not include any information on how or where Mallick could be contacted.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
