Celebrities join Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev in rally

On his second day in Mumbai, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev rallied on his bike alongside 100 biker participants and celebrities like Arshad Warsi, Dino Morea and Tiku Talsania, for the Rally for Rivers campaign, from the National Sports Club of India (NSCI) in Worli to Hotel Sofitel in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) on Sunday.

The bike rally began at 7.30 am from NSCI and went on to BKC via Shivaji Park and Mahim Church covering a 16-km route. Supporters of the Rally for Rivers campaign lined up throughout the route, holding balloons and placards to cheer the bikers. Traditional Maharashtrian dhol tasha arrangements were made as well.

The rally came to a halt at Hotel Sofitel where Sadhguru and the bikers were served breakfast. Among the supporters waiting for Sadhguru at the hotel was TV actor Rajesh Kumar, better known for his role as Rosesh Sarabhai in the TV show Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. Kumar bid his support by comically asking people to vote for the campaign which aims to save the lives of children in India. "I'm a part of the rally now, standing here with a placard in support. Please vote for the rally, bachon ko bachana hai toh pehele pani bachana hai," he said.

Actor Dino Morea rode a bike alongside Sadhguru in support. He said, "I'm here to support Sadhguru in Rally for Rivers. Water conservation has become absolutely important today."

During the breakfast that followed, supporters of the campaign gathered around for selfies which resulted in chaos. Sadhguru then tried asking the people to not take any pictures in his trademark sarcastic humour style.
