Amitabh Bachchan recently contributed Rs 2 crores to a Delhi Gurudwara to arrange for things necessary for COVID-19 relief in the capital. He however was criticised by several people for not doing enough to do his bit during the pandemic. The actor took to his blog to write about the same and said that he believes in doing charity and not talking about it.

He wrote, “Yes I do charity, but have ever believed it to be done, than spoken of… it is embarrassing, in too great a self-consciousness… of one that has ever felt shy of public presence despite the profession – one that has to find its usp in public domains is relevant today for me.”

The actor further revealed that he has taken care of several children who have lost both parents in the COVID-19 pandemic, “Young children .. orphaned by the sudden death of the parents, left in oblivion… have adopted 2 and shall be put in an orphanage in Hyderabad .. their study board and lodging free till they finish School… from the 1st to the 10th… and if they turn out bright to provide them with free upper education… and more, as and when the means are affordable… “

He added, “Those that suffered during the CoViD last year .. providing food for over 400,000 daily wage earners in the country for a month… feeding almost 5000 in the city each day for lunch and dinner. Provided masks, PPE units to front line warriors, Police Hospitals in the thousands .. through personal funds .. donating to the Sikh Committee that was helping the migrants to travel back home in the Inter-State busses, where the drivers were mostly Sikhs…” Kudos for all your efforts, Mr Bachchan.
