Dilli gets its dil back!
Ever since the heart symbol went missing from Karol Bagh’s selfie point, ‘Delhi ka dil kisne churaya?’ became the talk of the town. But proving that the Capital isn’t heartless after all, one good Samaritan took matters in his hands. With the new message, “Dil to aakhir dil hai na, chaahe plastic ka ho ya kagaz”, 23-yearold performing arts professional Karshin Khatri, a resident of Rajinder Nagar, filled the void with a paper heart. He says, “Since I live in the vicinity, I feel very attached to it. Masti hum bhi karte
hai but ye galat baat hai. So I decided to do something about it.”
Khatri recalls how he visited the location at night with a measurement tape to note down the size and placed the makeshift heart the next morning. He says, “I went around 8am, and was hesitant as I didn’t have any permission from the authorities. I went ahead and installed it, and posted a photo of it.”
Elated with the response he got on social media as his Instagram post received close to 10k likes, he says, “People in the city and on the internet are so happy with the gesture! Mere jeb se sirf ₹250 gaye. It’s a happy feeling.”
