He met the residents, touched feet of the elders and took their blessings. Spotting a physically challenged on a tricycle, he was quickly took ₹1000 out of his pocket and gave it to him.
As youngsters went crazy for a ‘selfie’ with the star, Sidhu not only obliged them all, but also shook a leg or two to the beats of ‘dhol’ when requested by this fans.
Winding up the visit, he assured the people of his constituency that he would pay back the love and support shown to him through development and better governance.
