The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is holding a tight grip on the country and there’s still a whole lot of confusion everywhere. Many actors stepped up to help those in need by providing the required resources and information. However, Annu Kapoor,best known for his work in Jolly LLB 2 expressed his opinion on how charity work should be genuine and not about clicking pictures.
As per a report on Bollywood Hungama, the actor said-
It would be good that the people who are trying their level best to help with honesty and have the audacity to work for the people should be encouraged and appreciated. The people who are not able to do it, I won’t blame them completely, they might have their own reasons. But, the ones who are doing, they have my salute and they need to be respected and appreciated very much. Forget about the ones who are doing it. The 4-5 people you named are really doing a great job and I salute them for it. Leaving aside negative, because negativity is all around the corner. Let’s not talk about if Mr. X or Mrs. X hasn’t done it. It’s alright, leave them aside. There could be an age balance also right. So, the people who have done, we must value them, we must respect them and if have really done genuinely, it’s a really big deal. For the same, they must be awarded by the government of India.
I talk to my Delhi friends and also talk in various places, so in this time we Indians have that national character that ‘2 roti deke yahan 20 photo khichwane wale bahut hai’. I and you cannot deny this thing that they give 2 roti and click 20 photographs out of it. This issue was raised last year as well and there were many WhatsApp messages of the same. Don’t do this man. My dear Walid Sahab used to say If your left hand gives something to anyone, so your right hand shouldn’t be even aware of it. This is what true service is.
Well, he certainly does have a point but, any help extended during times like these will weigh a great deal.
Note: We urge you all to stay safe and follow all the necessary safety precautions. Times are tough, but we are in this together, and I’m sure this phase will soon be over. Until then, stay safe and keep your loved ones safe!
