Superstar Rajinikanth on Monday (17 May) met Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin in Chennai to extend his support to the state's effort to battle the second wave of coronavirus. The superstar also contributed a sum of Rs 50 lakh to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Last week, the newly-elected chief minister had appealed to the public and the private organisations to generously contribute towards relief work during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"I request people to follow all the safety guidelines laid down by the government. Only then we will be able to defeat the coronavirus pandemic," Rajinikanth told reporters after meeting with the chief minister.
Netizens are praising Rajinikanth for his magnanimous gesture. Among the actors, Rajinikanth has donated the highest amount for the relief fund so far. Actor Suriya along with his brother Karthi and Sivakumar donated one crore but it's a share of the three stars.
