Aamir Khan have some things in
common. They have both featured in the
Dhoom series (Hrithik Roshan acted in
part two and Aamir Khan features in the
third segment), and the two superstars have come together for a bigger purpose
- helping out victims of the recent
Uttarakhand floods.
It's a known fact that Aamir has initiated
a drive for collecting funds for the
victims. He started off with his own
donation of R25 lakh. Now, we have
been told that Hrithik has also
contributed the same amount. "Besides inviting the film fraternity to
contribute,
Aamir is deeply involved with raising
funds for the flood victims. When Hrithik
got to know about this, he immediately
sent a cheque to Aamir," says an industry
insider.
Interestingly, Hrithik made sure that the
cheque reached Aamir a day before he
went in for his brain surgery. "Hrithik
couldn't go personally, but he sent his
secretary, Ashok Vashodia, on the sets of
Dhoom:3 (where Aamir was shooting) with instructions to hand over the cheque
only to Aamir and no one else," adds the
insider.
When contacted, Hrithik confirms this
news, saying, "One must do what one can
to help others in need. It must become
part of your belief system and must start
at home. Also I believe one must talk
about his charities. The old belief of 'selfglorification' giving and
not talking
about it does not serve the higher
purpose of teaching people to give and
propagating the ideal. We must set
examples so that others may follow.
Among all the negatives in the world, the positives must not go unnoticed. My
thanks to Aamir for initiating this effort."
Apparently, the collection from
Bollywood will be handed over to the
Prime Minister's Relief Fund on behalf of
the Film and Television Producers' Guild.
