Check out the full video of Gurbaksh Cahal on Secret Millionaire:

I just finished watching it as I was catching up on some missed episodes and I cried like a baby again. The girl from Puerto Rico was so sad and I’m glad that “G” could help her out in some small way.

Of course, I like many others wondered why “G” was only shown giving away I believe $90k when the commitment was $100k. Well, “G” explains it all in his blog post:

After watching my episode of Secret Millionaire, I learned that reality-TV is all about post production. Even though the emotions and stories are all real – editing makes everything come to life. Nevertheless, here are some missing parts that never made the episode:
• The obvious shock, the show advertises that a millionaire will donate at least $100,000 of their money. I ended up gifting well over $100,000 – but the way editing was done – it made it seem I only gifted $90,000.
• Due to privacy issues (which I completely understand), one of the additional recipients that I gifted was completely edited out.
• St. Anthony’s is also a place where a lot of people go when they are trying to get their lives back on track. Even getting a job these days is all about getting on the Internet. So, I donated a new computer lab to St. Anthony’s.
• I was deeply touched by the kids that lived at Raphael House. So, I started a “birthday fund” so at the very least, they get a birthday gift on their special day.
• In the final part of the show – the millionaires go back into the community to follow up on the recipients that they gifted. That also did not make the final cut.
I know a part of making this show – is to keep it entertaining. So, there were certain scenes that were also edited in to add humor. I got a laugh out of them myself. I never actually said BAM four times in a row or said “grocery shopping – it’s not that easy.”
Nevertheless, my heart was always in the right place when I did Secret Millionaire. I’m proud of what I was able to do and blessed that God gave me the opportunity to start giving back at a young age. I’ve also continued to support St. Anthony’s and Raphael House throughout this year.
And, I’m sure philanthropy wise; this is only the beginning for me.

Secret Millionaire really is a wonderful show that presents the stories of a lot of people that wouldn’t be shown otherwise. It reminds you about the diversity of people and situations that exist in the world. Great stuff!
