Friday, May 28, 2021

Kannada actor Chetan Kumar of ‘Aa Dinagalu’ fame is busy during the pandemic to support the downtrodden in the society. To set a mark by himself, actor, through his newly-floated ‘Chetan Foundation’ has been handing out grocery kits and other help to people, through a network of fans. From Pavagada’s ‘Shillekyata’ community to Tiptur’s transgenders to Bengaluru’s cemetery workers, the foundation has been sending ration kits to those whose earnings have dried up due to the lockdown. The transgender community, in particular, is all praise for Chetan for his humanitarian gesture.

He has been sending food kits to the marginalized community ?in the state. “I am planning to extend medical help to the needy in future, as my family is already running a cancer hospital in Hebbal, in Mysuru,” he said.

Actor had also written to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to regularize the services of around 300 cemetery workers in Bengaluru, who have no security to fall back on.
