We have all watched in wonder many of Padmashree Kamal Haasan’s performances on screen. Well, the actor has another side, one that is equally stirring — the magnanimous side .
The actor was the first to convert his fan clubs into public welfare organisations. He has also been an active campaigner for organ donation.
Now, the actor has decided to campaign for one more cause — supporting HIV +ve children. Yes, Kamal Haasan has come forward to adopt 1,000 HIV +ve children (out of the 2,651*) in the state! In a press release, the actor says, “Children are our future and it is very sad that some of them are thrown into the clutches of despair and hopelessness. It is our duty and responsibility to show them a path of hope and happiness. It gives me immense satisfaction to lead this campaign in support of HIV +ve children and hope many more will join me in this beautiful endeavour.”
Despite this deed, Kamal is humility personified. “There are better people than me, wealthier people than me ... I have only started a movement which I hope other people will take forward,” he adds.
