During the current crisis as India battles the second wave of coronavirus, he is ensuring people don't suffer the same way he did when it comes to food. Therefore, he started to provide home-cooked healthy food twice a day for over 200 COVID-19 patients.
Singhal has reportedly hired Asha kitchen food service in Mumbai's Malad for making food.

¡°In September last year, I was tested positive for coronavirus. Later, my whole family was also tested positive for the virus. Getting healthy homemade food was very difficult. In today's situation when most of the Covid patients are in home isolation I can understand how they must be deprived of good food. Therefore, I want to provide food to the patients," he told India Today.

He also said that he has circulated his phone number on social media. Singhal also revealed he doesn't ask for a COVID-19 positive report when he gets calls for food. He simply takes their requests and provides details to the kitchen service he has hired. The food is then delivered through delivering agencies.
Singhal is delivering food from Mahim to Mira road. ¡°We are delivering to distant places. Whatever I can do for covid patients I will. In fact, I would urge more people to come forward and help needy people in such difficult times. I really get very happy when people call me when food is delivered to them," he said.
