Saurabh has been strumming his guitar and singing for commuters in Mumbai local trains in a bid to raise money for cancer patients. Amitabh also sang with Saurabh during his train ride. He tweeted about his journey from his official handle. "T 2059 -Local from VT to Bhandup to support Saurabh, who sings in local trains for charity to cancer... sang with him." He added, "I do not think of super awesomeness... feel they that gives so much to society, need to be shown respect and support." The actor elaborated about his experience through his blog. "Saurabh Nimbkar plays the guitar and sings on local trains and collects the meagre money he gets from co-passengers to distribute to the less fortunate cancer patients and their families in the city... his story was heart breaking "I felt I would want to sit by him and travel the distance he does, do what he does, in a show of support and spirit for his incredible thinking. "The idea is not to create a splash among the media, or to create credible content for them, or for the subsequent promotion of the show #AKRHZ... the idea is to let him know that he is not alone... that he is appreciated... that our support runs even after he departs from the show... to hope that many others would feel the same way as we did when we heard his story... and perhaps that it may sufficiently light a small flame of hope for many other deeds that need to be done."
