Shah Rukh Khan donates Rs 1 crore to Chennai Relief Fund

Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has donated Rs 1 crore to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief fund, days after the city of Chennai came to a standstill due to heavy rains and floods.

In a letter from his production house Red Chillies Entertainment, Shah Rukh wrote:

Dear Madan Chief Minister,

We are all deeply affected by the devastation wreaked on the city of Chennai by the fury of nature. At the same time, the resilience of the people of Chennai and the way in which the community has come together to help each other and face this adversity is commendable and makes us all feel proud.

On behalf of Red Chillies Entertainment and Team Dilwale, please accept our contribution of Rs 1 crore to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund.

We appreciate the massive effort undertaken by your government and everyone in Chennai, to deal with this calamity and we hope our contribution will help in a small way.

With warm personal regards, I remain,

Sincerely yours,

Shah Rukh Khan

  • If you are from Chennai and you still hate SRK.
    I know what are you made up of – ‘Hatred’
    ?#?SRKStandsByChennai?

  • That’s really a very much noble deed and proves that Action do speak louder than words!! On your faces haters !! Doing charity improves your sense of well being, that’s what SHAH RUKH KHAN just did. At least appreciate it !!

    And Shah Rukh Khan is the only Indian to receive UNESCO Award for his Contribution to Society Welfare.

  • Nice gesture srk, I respect & appreciate it but still we true indians have anyway decided to boycott ur crap movie..

  • I have one question.. SRK has himself said.. he never talks about his philanthropy.. but why this time donating to Chennai relief fund and making it public? Why write TEAM DILWALE in the letter?

    Looks like the man is trying to gain public sympathy after his intolerant comment. Not gonna work Mr Khan. I still won’t watch Dilwale.

  • Where are all those haters who were barking incessantly about srk not donating money to relief funds
    In fact people were demanding others to boycott dilwale for his anti national remarks but remember he will always be the pride of the nation.
    Even south superstars like rajni sir have donated 10 lakhs.Waiting for some depressed jobless to accuse him of doing it for publicity but FYI it has been leaked by CMs office not somebody by srk’s pr team

  • KING ROCKKKKS.
    Excellent gesture. Only yesterday, I was thinking that SRK should donate atleast 1 Crore rupees to the relief fund for chennai and here it comes.
    Well done Great KING SRK.
    Love you.

  • @nvs @intolerant_psycho Does anybody care about you watching the movie in theatre or not.Will dilwale become a flop ig you guys dont watch the movie.Did any srk fan plead you to watch the film..no.So better watch pirated version of bm through torrent and continue spreading negativity.
    Btw when srk doesn’t donate money they have a problem if he donates money even then they have a problem.Get a life haters

  • now where are those morons who didn’t even donate 100 Rs and were bashing SRK for not donating.

    my fellow Indians, maxm amt that u donate will be 500 or 1000, but when SRK does it, he does it in crores. so keep ur mouth shut and if u can talk so much after donating 100 Rs then imagine how much SRK can bash you guys when he comes to know that u hav donated only 100 Rs ….

  • Bigg slap to hatters bhaai aaj kal ke log kishi ko defame karne k liye kishi v hadd tk gir skate hai realty is that he is never did chAratiy for camera he never announce about his charity in media for cheap publicities like other aaj ka jamana Asia hai log dindhora pit dete h pehle mediA mai aur karate kuch nhi h dekho hatter relief fun given by srk on 5 DEC.
    this is the proof that SRK had donated 1 cr for chennai flood victims on 5th dec. Shame on haters for defaming such a kind person.

  • Very good work by SRK please continue these good deeds but @indicine AKSHAY kumar sir also donates 2.40 crores for farmers but u never post about that ,dont take it personally guys

  • What SRK has donated is the highest ever amount by an actor. Now those who were barking kindly tell what you’ve donated?

    SRK helped Chennai two days before but didn’t reveal (leaked by TN CM office later) despite all the negativity, kyuki sab Dilwale nahi hote.

    SRK still stands by what he has been standing since years and years ”of not doing charity for a reason” .

    and It’s actually sad that we’re forced to talk about SRK’s good deeds, I didn’t like the idea of trending or even talking about it but we were/are left with no choice. Last few weeks has been a torture for all of us. Be it WA, Fb, Twitter or outer world, people were only talking shit with false accusations. Now we have got a chance to correct the people who were ‘misinformed’ about SRK. And for the haters, just leave those dimwits alone..

  • Shah Rukh Khan’s 1 crore Rupees donation for Chennai Floods also prove that you hardly need to wear a Being Human Tee to prove how much social worker you are. And of course, now Bhakts should find a new logic to prove how much traitor or Pakistani, this great man is.

    Hail SRK.. We-Are-Proud-Of-You-King-Khan.

  • I always support SHAH rukh KHAN.
    I don’t know why some people always hate SRK.
    Plz grow up!!
    He is always there for INDIA..
    I like Salman also, but not AAMIR..
    Aamir’s of screen personality sucks big time.

  • Read some tweets stating one crore is a small amount as compared to what CE earned. I’ll tell you why you’re a dumbfuck if you think so. Suppose you own a business. You make 1Cr this month. Will you donate all of it coz your product has Chennai in its name? Lets assume you do so. But that 1Cr was your earning. Not your profit. How will you pay back loan for your investment? How will you pay the taxes, maintenance, employee salaries, and your personal expenses? Will the govt pay it for you? SRK has to donate all of 300Cr? Okay. But that’s like 1/3rd of what the govt is giving itself. Is SRK our deputy PM? Mr PM announced a 1000Cr package for Chennai. But that is our money. SRK donated a “meagre” amount. But it’s his OWN! You’ve got to earn to survive. Do I have a right on your money? No. Then how do you have a right on his money? His film earned 225Cr. Yes. But that’s the point. It EARNED. You didn’t donate your money. It entertained you in return. You think this is for publicity? Think about this: If that was the case, we’d have trended things every other month. Fans don’t like publicizing charity. But we didn’t send those WA/FB posts questioning “What did he do?”
    He’s done this. Charity is a personal choice. He likes secrecy. Who are you to question someone’s charity?Is it your money he’s stolen? Did you question the big business tycoons in this country? Did you question the politicians of this country? Why him? Droughts? Slam SRK. Floods? Slam SRK. Did you effing elect him to govern this country? Don’t you ever use your brain? Why weren’t there hate edits against the Ambanis? And Baba Ramdeo? What makes you think only SRK is accountable to you? Love you SRK. you’re the best.
