When the Coronavirus pandemic brought the entire world to its knees last year, singer Jubin Nautiyal retreated to his hometown in the mountains of Uttarakhand. The singer safely returned to his family before Indian went into a complete lockdown and took the opportunity to keep his fans entertained through digital concerts like rooftop and garden concerts which have amassed millions of views on YouTube.
Nautiyal even extended his helping hand to natives in Uttarakhand by distributing ration kits during the pandemic. After the success of both concerts, he is now set to lift up the spirit of love and peace once again.
The multiple award-winning singer will be performing live along with his band on 14th February from the rooftop in Mussoorie. The performance will go live on his social media handles, YouTube, and Gaana app. Called Love and Peace Concert, the very special event is actually a fundraiser for Chamoli floods caused by a glacier burst in Chamoli district on Sunday.
“Music is all that I have to offer to the world. This tragedy happened and I could not imagine myself not using this opportunity to raise help for the people there. I belong to Jaunsar-Bawar. It is a very similar region to where the calamity happened. So, I can understand what people must be going through. If a calamity or natural disaster happens in a city, there are medical and many other facilities available. But, in a mountain area like Joshimath, Chamoli, Jaunsar-Bawar, it is a difficult story altogether. So, we announced this rooftop concert on February 14th, where we will raise funds, awareness, and reach out to more people. The intention to use music to help those affected. Little drops of water make the almighty ocean. Even if people just start donating ₹1, it will be of huge help.”
The rooftop concert will be live on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook from 5 pm onwards on 14th February. The gesture is to bring love and peace to heal and help those who are affected due to unexpected tragedy in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.

Saif Ali Khan's hospital trip was a mess, from a sleepy attendant to insisting on a stretcher.
He just ignored everyone telling him to use a wheelchair when it was time to leave.
His own mother, Sharmila Tagore, is still annoyed he did not listen to her.
A chilling detail: his son Jeh was nicked by the knife too during the chaos.
Right, so Saif Ali Khan is talking about the knife attack now. He is actually talking about it. He is filling in the blanks from that night at his Bandra home, the one that ended with him in surgery. And he is explaining that moment he left the hospital, no wheelchair, no ambulance, just walking. It was a conscious choice after the knife attack, his way of saying he was still on his feet.
Saif Ali Khan says he wanted to walk out of hospital to show fans he was fine Instagram/saifalikhanpataudiworld
What exactly went down that night?
He saw the man standing over Jeh’s bed, armed. During the struggle, the assailant’s knife even nicked his young son Jeh. The attacker managed to stab Saif six times before fleeing.
Saif Ali Khan opens up about the night he was stabbed and his shocking hospital decisionInstagram/saifalikhanpataudiworld
Why did Saif Ali Khan deny a wheelchair after the attack?
The hospital scene was weirdly placid and almost sleepy especially the emergency area. He knew the second he walked in, he would require a stretcher. But the attendant on duty just offered a wheelchair. He had to argue, “No, I think I need a stretcher.” The guy was not really getting it. In the end, Saif said he had to snap the guy to attention by stating his name and calling it a medical emergency. That is when everything kicked off.
That initial refusal of aid, bizarrely, set the tone. Later, after a week in hospital and surgery, he was again faced with the wheelchair question for his discharge. “It just did not seem to be necessary.” He could move, though in pain. So why would he pretend otherwise?
Here is the thing: everyone had an opinion. Someone said to take an ambulance, and another insisted on the wheelchair. The media was camped outside, curious and waiting. His own instinct cut through the noise. He figured, why feed the panic? Why have his family, his fans, seeing him wheeled out or driven away in an ambulance?
He decided the right message was the simplest one: just walk out. Show them you are upright and okay. It was a picture message, literally.
Of course, the plan backfired a bit online, with some calling the whole thing fake. His mother, Sharmila Tagore, certainly thought he had made a mistake, telling Twinkle Khanna that if he had just listened to her and used the wheelchair, “there would have been no controversy.” But for Saif, the intention was only to reassure.
