Ajith donates Rs 10 lakhs for the benefit of the FEFSI union cine industry workers
Last day, Tamil superstar Ajith had contributed Rs 25 lakhs towards the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund (CMPRF) to help in the fight against Covid-19. He has now followed it up with another Rs 10 lakhs for the welfare of the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) workers. Last year also, Ajith had offered financial assistance worth Rs 1.25 crores. He had donated Rs 50 lakhs each to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM-CARES) fund and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s relief fund. Apart from that, he also contributed Rs 25 lakhs to the FEFSI workers.
As the whole nation is suffering severely due to the pandemic, people from all walks of the society are doing their bit to help those in distress. Many from the film industry are contributing generously towards the cause. Recently, actors Suriya, Karthi and their father Sivakumar met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and donated Rs 1 crore.
Superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya and her family also donated Rs 1 crore to the CMPRF. Soundarya, her husband Vishagan, his sister and their father SS Vanangamudi personally met the Chief Minister and handed over the donation, which is made on behalf of their pharmaceutical company Apex Laboratory.
