When disaster strikes, so comes the tragedy. But in its wakes, also arrives gracefull, humanity. When Kerala has been suffering from the biggest floods in the history of the state, it was not alone in coping with the tragedy. Aid has been pouring in from various quarters not just from within the country, but also from other countries too. Speaking of the film industry, from Bollywood to South celebrities have been donating generously to the Chief Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan's Relief Fund.
South superstars like Chiyaan Vikram, Rajinikanth, Vijay, Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, Prabhas, Suriya Sivakumar, Allu Arjun etc have lent generous financial aid to the relief fund. These stars have big fan-bases in the state, and many of their films work in the theatres successfully, dubbed or otherwise. While we don't know how much Tamil superstars Ajith Kumar and Thalapathy Vijay have contributed (sources say that they have donated huge amounts), their fans clubs have been helping a lot in supplying relief material and in the rehabilitation programs. Check out what the other superstars in South have given to Kerala Flood Relief Fund.
