Meanwhile, a few days ago, Rajini’s daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth, her husband Vishagan, sister-in-law, and father-in-law Vanangamudi donated Rs 1 crore to the CM’s Covid-19 relief fund. She had tweeted, “My father-in-law Mr. S.S.Vanangamudi, husband Vishagan, his sister, and I visited the honorable Chief minister @mkstalin sir this morning to hand over our contribution of 1cr for the chief ministers #CoronaReliefFund from our pharma company Apex laboratories, Makers of #Zincovit.”

Other celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna, and Shilpa Shetty, Alia Bhatt among others have also come forward to help people in such times of turmoil.

Is it fair to attack Rajinikanth for trying to help the needy? Or do you agree with people’s opinions who think that he should have donated more for the cause? Let us know in the comments below.
