Para-karate athlete Tarun Sharma has thanked Indian singer Karan Aujla for helping him clear his loan ahead of competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics. With the loan amount in lakhs, Tarun Sharma released a video on his official Instagram account, thanking the rapper and other NRI residents for joining hands and getting him out of trouble.
It's worth noting that the athlete had a loan amount of a whopping ₹12 lakhs, which he required help paying back. With the NRI residents assisting him in bringing the loan amount to ₹8.70 lakhs, Karan Aujla alone cleared the balance.
Meanwhile, Sharma took to Instagram and thanked the singer along with posting the below caption:
"Thank you so much @karanaujla ji for closing my all bank loan and thank you to all NRI Punjabi and Indian brothers for helping me and supporting me for my bank loan."
