Arjun approached his friends and relatives to take the trophies and and give him money in exchange of his prized possesion. He collected 4 lakhs 30 thousand rupees by selling all his trophies and has already contributed that to PM cares fund .

The golfer who studies at the Greater Valley school in Greater Noida told ABP News that , " I am still young and can win many trophies again. But the country is going through a deep crisis and I wanted to contribute in my own way. This was the only way for me as I am a 10th standard student and don't earn money myself . So I had decided to sell off the trophies I have earned. After the lockdown gets over, I will give the trophies to those who have shown courtesy to buy it from me ."
