Said to be the strongest tropical cyclone to hit the nation in the last two decades – Cyclone Fani caused major destruction in Odisha. With more than 34 people dead, it will take a long time for normalcy to prevail there again.
Coming out to help and support the cyclone victims is Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar who has donated Rs 1 crore to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Confirming the same, an insider said, “This is not new. Akshay has always been contributing for causes, be it his Bharat ke Veer initiative for the armed forces, or his contribution to the Kerala Floods or Chennai floods earlier,”
For the unaware, Akshay had earlier vowed to donate Rs 5 crore through an initiative called Bharat Ke Veer by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. Back in 2015 too, the actor had helped the rain-ravaged Chennai by donating Rs 1 crore for its relief work.
Stay tuned for more updates on the same.
