Plan to build 'Shri University'
Abhay's biggest announcement was the plan to build 'Shri University'. He explained it won't be a regular university. It will blend modern education with spiritual knowledge. He believes today's education system is missing a spiritual side, and this university will fill that gap. Along with studies, it will teach meditation, sadhana, and the art of understanding life.
When asked about his family, Abhay mentioned that he will definitely meet his parents, but to achieve a bigger goal, one sometimes has to create a little distance from personal life.
