When asked Chadha said, “It’s important to do what one can to heal the world. I’d seen similar videos on the net and wanted to try this noble idea. I used the excuse of this ‘International Hug Day’ to spread warmth especially due to the grimness of the past few weeks. It’s harmless. You can’t deny love. I am glad that I did this because it also left me feeling very happy. I believe we are happiest when we love. Like Martin Luther King said, “Darkness cannot he driven out by darkness, only light can do that…, I wanted to be the change and it was a very humbling experience to share love with complete strangers. It’s is a wonderful idea and I want to do it every year. A hug can melt the coldest hearts”
