Singer Palak Muchhal has made her way into the Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records — not for her heartfelt songs, but for her amazing work helping others. The Indore-born singer known for hits like "Meri Aashiqui," "Kaun Tujhe," and "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo," has helped pay for more than 3,800 heart surgeries for kids in need across India and other countries through her Palak Palash Charitable Foundation. Her place in these world-famous record books shows how kindness and steady effort can turn a celebrity's reach into a real force to do good.

Palak started helping others long before she became famous. As a kid, on a train trip, she saw poor children struggling to get basic things they needed. That moment stuck with her making her promise — "I'll help them one day." Years later, that promise turned into the main goal of her life. Every stage performance, every concert earning, and even personal savings were channelled toward helping children with congenital heart diseases get the surgeries they couldn’t otherwise afford.

Her philanthropic efforts have saved thousands of young lives and brought hope to families who had lost it. Palak's generosity extends past medical assistance to underprivileged. She has given her voice and money to various causes — donating Rs 10 lakh to help Gujarat earthquake victims and backing Kargil martyrs' families. Her actions show a unique mix of care and effort — a strong belief that art should help people in real ways.

At the peak of her music career too, Palak still puts her foundation first, above luxury or fame. Her steady commitment has gained her worldwide praise and motivated other artists  to think beyond stardom as well.
