In the midst of the 1999 Bollywood Awards in New York, where he accepted the “Outstanding Humanitarian Award” from the Indian film industry, Jackson went on to state that in some ways he felt undeserving to receive an award for doing something that is his duty and accept this award as a gesture of encouragement from the people of India and a commission to do more for mankind.” Jackson often cited Mahatma Gandhi as a major inspiration for his non-violence philosophy and charity: He received the Humanitarian Award for his contribution to global peace and charity work through his [Heal the World Foundation].
He noted that it was his longest speech at the time, expressing profound pride to be recognized by “the land of Mahatma Gandhi”.This feeling of being humbled was consistent with his views that helping children and the world was a responsibility, not an act for recognition.

His speeches often revolved around love, healing, and sharing his talent, demonstrating a “humble soul” behind the global icon.
