Previously, Randeep has many time joined the Khalsa Aid in voluntary missions such as cleaning up the Juhu beach after 2017 Ganpati Visarjan or providing food for Kerala flood victims last year.

Beside Randeep Hooda, many other actors, directors or filmmakers are interested in the problem of water shortage and environmental conservation. Director Shekhar Kapur, for example, often tells everyone to save water, reduce plastic use and clean the water bodies on his Twitter account.

Producer and actor Aamir Khan, along with his wife Kiran Rao, has founded the Paani Foundation to deal with the drought problems in Maharashtra.
