Megastar Chiranjeevi has donated Rs 1 Cr to the Telugu States, which are reeling under the effect of floods. "The hardships caused to the people due to the effects of the flood in the Telugu States are disturbing me. The loss of innocent lives is very tragic. Under the direction of the Chief Ministers of the Telugu states, both governments are working to improve the situation as much as possible. We all need to be involved in relief efforts in some way. I am announcing my contribution of one crore rupees (50 lakhs each to the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana CM Relief Funds) to help the relief of the people in the two states," wrote the 'Vishwambhara' actor.
On his part, Mahesh Babu wrote, "In light of the floods impacting both the Telugu states, I am pledging a donation of 50 lakhs each to the CM Relief Fund for both AP and Telangana. Let’s collectively support the measures being undertaken by the respective governments to provide immediate aid and facilitate the recovery process for the flood-affected regions. I urge everyone to contribute to this cause. May we rise above this crisis and emerge stronger."
Besides Chiranjeevi and Mahesh Babu, other celebs such as Jr NTR, Balakrishna, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Vishwak Sen and Ananya Nagalla have also made donations.
