Recently, Amritsar DC Ghanshyam Thori and Punjab cabinet minister Kuldeep Dhaliwal paid her a visit and gave her a ₹1 lakh cheque as support.

Actor Akshay Kumar extended a helping hand to Glory Bawa, daughter of the late Padma Bhushan awardee and renowned Punjabi folk singer Gurmeet Bawa. Just days after Glory publicly appealed for government assistance by sharing her financial struggles on social media, Akshay Kumar sent her ₹25 lakh to help her through this difficult time.

Talking to Hindustan Times about whether this gesture will improve financial conditions Glory said, “It will definitely help me and my family. But I want work, and have been asking for the same. People have started reaching out to me, and hope artistes like us find something substantial to do.”

Commenting on the same, the Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor said, “I got to know of this from social media. Bahot dukh hua ki Gurmeet Bawa ji, jo Punjab ki shaan thi, unke pariwar ko aaj itni financial problems hain. Maine unki beti Glory Bawa ko apni behen samajh ke ek pyaar ka gesture bheja hai. Yeh koi help nahi hai, ek Punjabi aur ek artist hone ke naate mera farz hai."
