Actor Rahul Bose met and cheered a group of underprivileged, physically challenged and spastic children on Wednesday evening in Kolkata.

"We are not so rich that we should forget the poor," the actor said to a query if he supported celebrity endorsement of social causes.




However, Bose said that celebrities ought to segregate social work from their screen commitments. He was speaking regarding the controversy surrounding Bollywood star Aamir Khan 's association with the Narmada Bachao Andolan.

Bose said he supported Khan, his long time friend.

To an observation that filmstars used such publicity prior to the release of their movies to increase ticket sales, he said: "This is a cynical thought. I have been working in the Andamans for the last two years post-tsunami without a single photograph being published in any newspaper."

The actor, who shot to fame with his classic roles in films like ‘Mr and Mrs Iyer’, 15 Park Avenue , Chameli and ‘Jhankar Beats’, said he believed that charity begins at home and all stars must dedicate time to social work.

It was a similar social cause that brought the accomplished actor and director to his hometown, Kolkata.
