It is indeed heartening to note the fact that there are a few good samaritans around who are more than willing to go that extra mile and reach out to needy and deserving folks.........
Following in the footsteps of IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir; Hindi film industry heart throb Hrithik Roshan has announced that he will be raising and donating a sum in excess of Rs. 20 lakh to four para athletes namely swimmers Sharath Gayakwad and Niranjan Mukundan as well as power lifters Sakina Khatun and Rajinder Singh Rahelu........
According to sources close to the actor; he was pained and devastated by various news items pertaining to the notable absence of adequate funding and training facilities for Indian para athletes who are more than keen to make a mark both for themselves and the nation in the Rio De Janeiro Para Olympics that are slated to be held early next year.........
The same source also confirmed that Hrithik immediately got in touch with his co-actor friend Kunal Kapoor who has been aiding and abetting such para athletes for years now and Kunal in turn put him in touch with the organisation that has completely devoted itself to the noble and noteworthy cause of raising adequate funds to cater to the needs of these doughty warriors.........
Hrithik will go the proverbial extra mile and generate the much needed (read promised) funds in the next two months or so through his apparel label as well as other brands that he endorses and promotes and the funds thus generated (a sum in excess of Rs. 20 lakh) will wholely and solely be used to fund the training as well as other allied needs of the four afore mentioned para athletes who intend doing the nation proud........
In addition to all this; the caring and concerned actor has held out the promise about this being a perennial rather than one time activity on his part and also said that he will be making such personal contributions to this organisation from time to time as well as make himself available for social media activities; photo shoots and interviews with India's hence far neglected and forgotten para athletes...........
Way to go Duggu; do keep up the good work and take up many more such notable and noteworthy causes every time they are highlighted and espoused...........
