Khurana explains how beggars’ home is a misleading term as there is little dignity in those shelters and they are worse than jails. His other two demands from the authorities is to create enough shelters for the homeless based on their population in every state and also to ensure safety of women and children in these shelters. He wants to focus on repealing the draconian Bombay Beggary Prevention Act, 1959, which allows an official to imprison any person found begging or on the suspicion of beggary. The documentary, which will be released mid-2022, puts across a few pertinent demands. A few years down the lane, Khurana is ready with The Invisible Visible that seeks to build support for the homeless and destitute of the country. “The stories shared by Tarique about the pathetic state of affairs of the homeless convinced me that this was a story that needed to be shared with the world,” says Khurana.

It was at this forum that Khurana met Tarique Mohammad, the founder of Koshish, who works against criminalisation of the poor. But all of it changed when he was invited to the Aspire Circle fellowship-which promotes enlightened social leadership in India-programme in 2016. They were just faceless statistics to him, just like they are to most people driving past them.
