Rajeev Pillai postpones his wedding to help those affected in the floods

The Kerala Floods is one of those rare instances were celebrities and commoners came together for a cause. Stars didn’t care about the continuous rains, neck-deep water or soiling themselves while being involved in the rescue and rehabilitation works. Malayali actors like Tovino Thomas, Indrajith|Sukumaran, Poornima Indrajith, Parvathy, Remya Nambeesan, Rima Kallingal, Asif Ali, Jayasurya, Balu Varghese, Sunny Wayne, Aju Varghese and Vijay Babu were actively involved in the relief operations.

Actor Rajeev Pillai went a step higher by postponing his wedding to get involved in relief activities for flood victims. The doctor-turned-actor hails from Nannoor in Thiruvalla, where many parts were under water. Though his house was not affected, Rajeev decided to postpone his wedding to join the rescue mission. The actor was supposed to marry Ajitha, an engineering graduate, on the 17th of this month.

A photo of Rajeev helping in the rescue works was shared by actress Richa Chadda, his co-star in the Shakeela biopic. Richa’s post reads,

“My friend and costar in #Shakeela, @rajeev_govinda_pillai postponed his wedding, which was to happen three days ago, in order to help out in rescue efforts in his hometown of Nannoor, Kerala. They made rafts, carried boats by road to the low lying areas, made good use of all the muscle. Bravo! PS- apart from obvious resourceful-ness, helpfulness, I think this is when fitness comes in handy. When you’re strong, agile, you can be of use in adverse conditions. The young men and the fishermen in this town worked till late in the night to save people from the rising water.”

Kerala has been severely affected by the torrential rains that triggered massive floods and landslides. Said to be the worst in nearly a century, the floods have cost lives of about 380 people and properties worth over Rs 20,000 crores. During the initial phase itself, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan raised awareness about the gravity of the disaster by requesting people to contribute generously towards the relief fund.

Following his request, various political parties, businessmen and celebrities have donated to the Cheif Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund (CMDRF). Many of the top celebrities from Tamil cinema have contributed huge amounts to rebuild the state and help better the lives of those affected by the floods.

Brothers Suriya and Karthi were the first to reach out by contributing Rs 25 lakhs to the relief fund. Karthi flew down to Thiruvananthapuram to personally hand over the cheque to CM. Kamal Haasan and star network’s Vijay TV together donated Rs 50 lakhs. Vijay Sethupathi donated Rs 25 lakh while Dhanush contributed Rs 15 lakhs.

Actor Vijay, who enjoys massive fan following in Kerala, did his part by reaching out to those affected through his fan clubs. Trade analyst and journalist Sreedhar Pillai tweeted,

“#ThalapathVijay is doing his bit towards #KeralaFloodRelief through his fan clubs. He has pledged ₹70 lakhs via their bank accounts and asked them to directly reach across those in need of relief and rehabilitation. [sic]”

Siddharth, who was one of the heroes of the Chennai Floods in 2015, was very much active in social medias by spreading word about the disaster that rocked Kerala. He was highly critical of the apathy shown by the Centre and North Indian medias towards the state. Apart from donating Rs 10 lakhs, he also started the Kerala Donation Challenge where he challenged his colleagues in the film industry to contribute to the CM’s relief fund.

Torrential rains, flash floods and a series of landslides resulted in massive loss of lives and properties in Kerala. The state is slowly getting back to its feet with the combined efforts of people from different walks of the society. Heartening to say, celebrities and commoners came together to help the thousands affected by the floods. Malayali actors like Indrajith Sukumaran, Asif Ali, Tovino Thomas, Aju Varghese, Sunny Wayne and Unni Mukundan worked hard to arrange the basic items required for the relief camps.

Tovino Thomas was one of the first among cine stars to participate in the relief works. He worked hard for four continuous days and was an assuring presence in the camps in Thrissur. He is also one of the few stars who offered shelter for flood-affected people in his home town, Irinjalakkuda. His close friends and their families are currently staying in his house. Even while doing all the hard work at the camps and collection points, he came live on Facebook regularly to update and pass all necessary information.

In one of the videos from the relief camps, Tovino was seen carrying huge rice sack bags on his back. In another video, he could be seen delivering a speech to the volunteers in the relief camp, intended to motivate the residents there. His efforts in the rescue and rehabilitation works have earned him huge respect.

From someone who was mocked for accusing a fan of pinching him to lending a helping hand when the state needed it the most, the love and respect for Tovino Thomas grew miles among Malayalis.
