Farhan Akhtar Live was initiated to support MARD which is a social campaign launched by Farhan. It has completed 5 years this March and over the course of these years, Farhan Akhtar Live has taken over 150 cities across the world.

MARD was conceived after an unfortunate incident in August 2012, when his 25-year-old employee Pallavi Purkavastha was brutally raped and assaulted by the watchman.

In association with music composers Salim - Sulaiman, Farhan also composed a song "Chulein Aasman" which is about female emancipation, a song about freeing women from the roles that they have been coerced into playing for centuries.
