The floods in Kerala have shown the extent to which nature’s fury can go. With more than 400 casualties and lakhs in relief camps, the story is a fearful one.

Since the news of floods first came out a lot of celebrities, both from Bollywood and south Indian film industries, have been tweeting and sharing posts on social media asking the public to contribute for rescue and relief work.

While a host of Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan have made contributions, Sushant Singh Rajput has done something unique -- not only has he made a payment of Rs 1 crore, he has done so in the name of a fan!

Donating the sum to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for flood-hit Kerala, Sushant shared details of the deal on his social media handles. Here’s how it happened. A fan of his tagged him saying: “Sushant Singh Rajput, I don’t have money but I want to donate for the flood. How can I donate? Please tell me.”

Sushant replied to his fan saying that he has contributed the sum. He also posted screenshots of his contribution and wrote: “As promised, my friend, @subhamranjan66, what you wanted to do, has been done. You made me do this, so be extremely proud of yourself. You delivered exactly when it was needed. Lots and lots of love. Fly. Cheers,” Sushant captioned his post, adding the hashtag, ‘My Kerala.’”

Among the Bollywood A-listers who have made a contribution are Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and many others.
