One user remarked, “He plays in Aundh too, near Taaareef restaurant and Chitale Bandhu. Plays beautifully. I have made donations too.”
Another questioned society’s priorities, stating, “We have corrupt politicians and builders making crores, while true artists like him struggle on the streets.”
Others eagerly sought ways to support him, with one user asking, “Can you provide his QR code? Tried taking a screenshot, but it’s unclear.”
A Reminder of Unrecognized Talent
The video has sparked discussions on the value of street artists and how society often overlooks true talent. While many hailed Jain’s abilities, the incident also raised concerns over the lack of institutional support for independent artists.
With the video continuing to trend, Pune’s flute-playing sensation has not only won hearts but also highlighted a crucial conversation about recognizing and supporting street musicians.
