When the name 'Rohit Shetty' comes to our mind, we only have the image of a great director who has directed Blockbuster movies like 'Zameen', 'All the best', 'Golmaal Series', Chennai express', 'Singham', 'Singham Returns', 'Bol Bacchan' 'Simba', 'Dilwale' etc. He is the son of famous villain 'Shetty', He is fond of cars, His love for action in movies, His close friendship with Ajay Devgan, His every movie that gets the tag of Blockbuster, His love for the Police which he portrays through his movies are his other identities which makes him a very special person among the other Bollywood Directors. But you know what Guys, apart from being a Blockbuster director, he is a wonderful human being with pure heart and beyond that, a very open hearted personality. He is absolute like that. And this his quality about him I knew from the stage of Indian Idol. Dear Guys, I was watching Indian Idol with the family yesterday where Rohit Shetty Sir came to promote his new movie 'Cirkus' with its co-stars. Actually, this episode was dedicated to Rohit Shetty Production which is his own Production House. The contestants in this show gave tribute to his film production by singing his movie songs. And when in the end, besides as a director, what Rohit Shetty did for the society was told, the viewers got surprised including the judges, contestants and I. Coz what he contributed to the society is unmatched by even the best. First, let me tell you what he did to the society. And the first name who told the viewers how Rohit Shetty contributed to the society is -
Vishwas Nangre Patil, The Joint
Commissioner of Police, Mumbai
He states,
In the time of Corona, many
Policemen were infected with
Corona. So to take treatment,
they were admitted to the
hospital. But when he came to
know the cost of the treatment
is 93 Lac, the ground beneath
his feat shifted. He had a question
of paying this huge amount in
front of him. He immediately
called Rohit Sir. And look at what
this great man replied to him -
"Not to worry, Sir. We will pay it in
one stroke. And he gave the cheque
of 93 lacs to Patil Sir. This is Rohit
Shetty and his generosity"
The next name who reveled the generosity of this great man on the show is -
Ashok Pandit, an Indian Filmmaker
and the president of the Indian
Film and television directors
He states,
Due to corona, there were no
work for the spot boys, technicians,
cameraman and the other people
who work behind the screen. Just
because of imposing the lockdown.
Then how will they earn their
livelihood and run house in this
critical time, a question arose
before them. He immediately
recalled the name 'Rohit Shetty'.
He phoned him and told everything
to him. And look at the reply of this
humble man, Guys. He replied -
"Not to worry, Sir. They are our
men. In this situation, if we don't
help them then who will. You just
don't worry. I did a show few
days ago from which I raised a fund
of Rs. 1 crore. I'll send that to you.
The problem will be solved. This
is Rohit Shetty and his generosity".
The third name who are the photographers themselves named 'Varinder Chawla' and 'Yogen Shah' told how Rohit Shetty helped them in this difficult period. This proves Guys, how generous this man is! We can surely say this man is born to serve the needy people. This his great work is a fine example of it. So let's stand and salute for what he did to the society. He undoubtedly deserves our salute 🙏
Dear Guys, there is no doubt that Rohit Sir would have helped some other needy people and brought smiles to their faces apart from this great work. But do you think it's just because of he has lot of money and does it for a publicity stunt to get people's sympathy? There is no such thing like this, Guys. He himself has faced poverty closely. He stated in an interview that,
'He went through poverty badly.
There was a time when they had
no money for food. In such
circumstances, he wrote a letter
to the great Amitabh Bachchan for
helping them. And as the great man
came to know about it, he
immediately sent help to them'
This proves, Guys, he is very well familiar with poverty. He knows what poverty can do to man. This is why when he comes to know about the needy ones, he rushes to help them. And this his quality we have experienced here. So once again let's stand and praise this generous man and his kind gesture here. He truly deserves this honour from us.
Rohit Sir, thank you for this your lovely gesture. You are the real gentleman of this country. Please, keep this great work continue and spread happiness in needy one's lives. You are simply great.
Thank you 🙂
