Who Is Bobby Bhai? Amitabh Bachchan Tries to Touch Social Worker's Feet and Seeks His Blessings
Sarabjit Singh Bobby, popularly known as Bobby Bhai or “Shimla ka Vihla”, has been selected for the ‘Force of Good Award’ on the popular television quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). Known for providing free meals to thousands of people and helping perform the last rites of unclaimed bodies, Bobby has dedicated years to serving humanity.
Bobby, who runs the Shimla-based NGO Almighty Blessings, will feature in an episode showcasing his work and journey. The episode is scheduled to air on November 12, 2026, at 9 pm on Sony LIV and television.
However, one of the most memorable moments for the social worker was his meeting with Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Recalling his experience on the KBC set, Bobby said he spent around four hours watching the veteran actor and was impressed by his energy and the humility with which he interacted with everyone.
Amitabh Bachchan's gesture leaves Bobby emotional
Bobby described meeting Bachchan as one of the most memorable experiences of his life and called him a true gentleman.
He said he tried to touch the actor's feet as a mark of respect, but Bachchan stopped him. In a gesture that deeply moved Bobby, the actor himself tried to touch the social worker's feet and sought his blessings.
Bobby said he was still finding it difficult to believe what had happened. He added that he had no words to describe the humility of one of the country's biggest stars.
NGO serves around 4,000 people every day
During their conversation, Bobby told Bachchan about the humanitarian work he has been carrying out for the past 12 years with the support of friends and volunteers.
Through Almighty Blessings, Bobby and his team provide meals to around 4,000 people every day. The beneficiaries include poor patients and their attendants staying near hospitals. The NGO also runs free community kitchens and langar services, offering food and refreshments to people in need.
Helping perform last rites of unclaimed bodies for 28 years
Another important part of Bobby's work is helping ensure that unclaimed, unidentified and decomposed bodies receive a dignified final farewell. He has been involved in this service for the past 28 years.
The organisation also provides free funeral procession services and transportation of bodies. Over the years, it has organised blood donation camps and extended assistance to communities affected by floods and other emergencies.
KBC team filmed Bobby's work in Shimla
Last month, the KBC team visited Shimla and filmed a reel introducing Bobby's social work. The video is part of the programme's effort to highlight his contribution to society.
Expressing gratitude to his friends and supporters, Bobby said the award belonged to everyone who had stood by him and helped him continue his service to humanity.
While the KBC recognition has brought wider attention to his decades of work, Bobby said his meeting with Amitabh Bachchan had given him a memory he would cherish for the rest of his life.
