SCOOP!! & NEWS Two days before death, Sunil Dutt did his last noble act26th May 2005 23.00 IST By Nitika Desai Just days before he left this world, actor-politician Sunil Dutt donated Rs 25,000 to the widow of a labourer to help her in the marriage of her daughter. Such was the integrity and large heartedness of this great, departed soul. Sunil Dutt was the man who felt and fought for the downtrodden. So when he read media reports on Sunday about Vice President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat donating Rs one lakh and five sarees to widow of a migrant labourer (who had donated his eyes, kidneys and liver after a fatal accident four months back), Dutt could not hold himself back from making his own “humble contribution.”
On Monday, a day after the reports and just two days before he died of cardiac arrest, Sunil Dutt wrote a letter to the Vice President, saluting him for his generous gesture and including in the letter an unnamed cheque of Rs 25,000 to be given to the labourer's widow for her daughter's wedding. Here is an excerpt from the letter Sunil Dutt sent to Mr. Shekhawat: “Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawatji, I went through yesterday’s (Sunday’s) newspaper reports ‘VP reaches out to family of migrant labourer who lit up six lives in death’. It was one of the finest human gestures because in today’s world of materialism, very few people are there like you who feel for the poor. I sincerely salute you for that. I’m sending you a blank cheque of Rs 25,000…Please hand over this cheque to the labourer’s widow when you attend her daughter’s wedding. This is a very humble contribution from my side, getting the inspiration from you. Thanking you, with regards, Sunil Dutt.” In response to Sunil Dutt’s gesture, the Vice-President told a news daily: “Today, I learnt of Sunil Dutt’s fine gesture. I will definitely fulfill this last wish of his. I salute him. God bless his soul.” | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ 'Mission Istanbul' promises adrenalin trip ~ Sylvester Stallone gels with Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar ~ When Vivek Oberoi grooved with Russian chicks ~ Shilpa Shetty wants Akshay Kumar for her film ~ Shahid Kapur's dancing skills to be put to test ~ Amitabh Bachchan prefers being guided than to lead ~ 'Singh Is Kinng' garners ample publicity ~ Bachna Ae Haseeno : Movie Preview / Slideshow ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Bollywood lends flavour to festival of India in Switzerland ~ Disney to launch 'Taare Zameen Par' DVD in US ( more in happenings ) AKC HOT INDEX ECARDS > New Year, Diwali, Birthday, Valentines, Love, Christmas MOVIES Kismat Konnection, Contract, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Love Story 2050, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Sarkar Raj, Aamir, De Taali, Mere Baap Pehle Aap, Jannat, Summer of 2007 , Haal-e-Dil, Singh Is Kinng , Bachna Ae Haseeno , Money Hai Toh Honey Hai , Mission Istanbul MUSIC Kismat Konnection , Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na celebs» the celeb A-Z who's in » Katrina Kaif | Deepika Padukone | Ranbir Kapoor | Harman Baweja | Aishwarya Rai | Abhishek Bachchan | Imran Khan | Shahrukh Khan | Salman Khan | Aamir Khan | Hrithik Roshan | Akshay Kumar | Zayed Khan | Saif Ali Khan | John Abraham | Shahid Kapur | Kareena Kapoor | Vidya Balan | Priyanka Chopra | Rani Mukherjee | Mallika Sherawat | Bipasha Basu | Preity Zinta | Kajol | Neha Dhupia | Sameera Reddy | Juhi Chawla | Karisma Kapoor | Madhuri Dixit | Zeenat Aman | Payal Rohatgi | Sneha Ullal | Mahima Chaudhary | Meghna Naidu | Gayatri Joshi | Rakhi Sawant | Bhumika Chawla | Lisa Ray | Dimple Kapadia | Ayesha Takia | Dia Mirza | Sushmita Sen | Amisha Patel | Esha Deol | Amrita Rao | Amrita Arora | Genelia D'Souza | Arjun Rampal | Amitabh Bachchan | Vivek Oberoi | Raima Sen | Riya Sen | Rekha | Rimi Sen | Nigar Khan | Tanushree Dutta | Yana Gupta | Deepal Shaw | Shilpa Shetty | Celina Jaitley | Sonam Kapoor | Neha Oberoi | Nisha Rawal | Sikander Kher | Manjari Fadnis | more... |
