Renowned playback singer Palak Muchhal has earned a place in both the Guinness Book of World Records and the Limca Book of Records for her philanthropic work, marking a milestone beyond her musical career. The singer, known for hits like Meri Aashiqui, Kaun Tujhe, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, has helped fund more than 3,800 heart surgeries for underprivileged children through her Palak Palash Charitable Foundation.
Muchhal, 32, has dedicated her career to combining her passion for music with humanitarian initiatives. Her foundation identifies children in need of urgent cardiac care and arranges life-saving procedures, covering medical costs that families often cannot afford. The initiative spans across India and has extended support to international cases as well.
Speaking about her work, Muchhal emphasized, “A child’s surgery will never stop.” Her husband, composer Mithoon, echoed her commitment, stating that even in the absence of income from performances, their focus remains on ensuring life-saving surgeries continue without interruption.
Beyond cardiac care, Muchhal has actively supported families of Kargil martyrs and contributed ₹10 lakh for Gujarat earthquake relief, reflecting a broad commitment to social welfare.
Her recognition in the Guinness and Limca records highlights a rare combination of artistic achievement and social responsibility. Medical professionals associated with her foundation note that the initiative has significantly improved access to critical healthcare for children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Looking ahead, Muchhal plans to expand the foundation’s outreach to more regions and introduce preventive health programs, aiming to reduce the incidence of treatable cardiac conditions among children.
This milestone reinforces the role of public figures in catalyzing social change, demonstrating how celebrity influence can be harnessed for humanitarian causes on a national and global scale.
