Amitabh Bachchan Donates Rs 51 Lakh to Flood Victims of Assam

Guwahati, July 23, 2019:

After 'Khiladi' Akshay Kumar's 'double dhamaka' of Rs 1 crore each for the animals and the humans affected by the devastating floods of Assam, 'Big B' Amitabh Bachchan has come up with a bumper donation which will hopefully help alleviate the sufferings of the people of Assam affected by floods.

According to reports, the Bollywood superstar has made a huge donation of Rs. 51 lakh to the Assam Chief Minister's Relief Fund.

It may be mentioned that 'Big B' Amitabh also seems to have recently become a big fan of Assam's 'Dhing Express' Hima Das, as he had used a creative of the Assam Police to congratulate her for winning 5 Gold medals in Europe within a month. However, the megastar was criticized for using an edited version of the creative and for not crediting the Assam Police for their original attractive content.

Amitabh's donation comes a few days after ‘Action superstar’ Akshay Kumar had announced that he will be making a donation of a whopping sum of Rupees one crore (!) towards the ‘rescue efforts’ for the animals suffering due to the floods in Kaziranga National Park in Assam, which has been almost completely submerged.

Not only this, the big-hearted star also donated a further Rupees one crore to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.

It is to be mentioned that many other celebs have also made donations for the Assam flood victims such as Assamese actors Jatin Bora and Seema Biswas and sports icons such as 'Dhing Express' Hima Das and IPL sensation Riyan Parag.
