The two actors donated money to help with medical bills of noted Marathi poet Namdeo Dhasal. Bachchan donated Rs.5 lakhs while Salman donated Rs.1 lakh for Dhasal’s treatment. Director Madhur Bhandarkar also contributed Rs. 50,000 for the poet’s treatment.
Bachchan claims that like Namdeo he too suffered from the same ailment called myasthenia gravis and hence he knows the feeling. Amitabh says, “This is my way of helping in a small way.”
As for Salman’s contribution, his father Salim Khan said, “It’s a very small contribution from Being Human-Salman Khan foundation.”
Dhasal’s treatment is extremely expensive and his wife has already spent Rs.6 lakhs on his treatment, she has also had to put her flat on sale for his extensive treatment. Dhasal is extremely grateful to the Big B, Salman and Bhandarkar for their contributions.
