¡°I recite the Ramayana regularly, and I am deeply influenced by the character of Lord Rama. Lord Rama himself said that even making sandals from one¡¯s own skin is not enough for one¡¯s mother. So, this idea came to my mind, and I decided to make footwear from my skin and gift them to my mother,¡± Times Now quoted Gurjar.

News18 quoted Gurjar, ¡°I want to tell society that heaven lies at the feet of the parents. The father is the ladder to heaven, while the mother is the one who will make it there.¡±
