For close to five decades Kamal Haasan
who is ruling the roost in Indian cinema has stayed away from commercial
advertisements and has restricted himself to ads for social causes.
Last Diwali when the Ulaganayagan appeared for a popular garment outlet
ad many eyebrows were raised and there were also reports that he had
donated the entire money to a charity organization who denied receiving
the money.
After a few months of silence Kamal has
revealed that he and a famous media owner have been silently running a
charity organization for a long time and the Rupees 10 crores received
from the Ad has been diverted to it. The organization had adopted 7000
AIDS infected children who are now grownups and Kamal did not want
publicity as their names have to be revealed, hence his silence.
Truly a noble gesture by India’s most
brilliant actor who says he will continue to act in Ads for huge
remunerations to help more people. Salutations sir.
