In his blog published on Saturday, Bachchan spoke about doing charity in private and why he chose to remain silent all this while, even as people called him out repeatedly for not doing enough. “Yes I do charity, but have ever believed it to be done, than spoken of,” Bachchan wrote.
“The everyday abuse and the filth of distasteful comment has never been of attention to me or to the family. We have seen it from time immemorial happens some are ridden with the wisdom that it shall happen so all the efforts continued in the quiet no divulge to the information agencies no talk of it either only the receiver knew and that was the end,” he added.
It was later learnt that Big B had donated some INR 20 million to a COVID facility in Delhi. Politician Manjinder Singh Sirsa took note of the donations, and appreciated the actor for his efforts.
Several other Bollywood stars have also been donating and urging fans to aid in India’s fight against Covid.
