Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput had forged a special relationship with Kerala during the devastating flood of 2018.

The 34-year-old had donated Rs1 crore to the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund on behalf of a fan and then shared a screenshot of his donation in the fan’s name with the hashtag ‘My Kerala’

During the deluge, a user had tagged him in a comment on his Instagram post saying, ” I don’t have the money, but I want to donate some food. How can I donate? Please tell me.” The actor, who spotted the comment, replied, “I will donate Rs1 crore in your name, make sure that it directly reaches our friends out there, and post it on Instagram thanking you for making me do this. Thank you so much for wanting to.”

Sushant kept his word and later shared a screenshot of his donation, tagging the fan. He wrote, “As promised (to you) my friend, 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. My Kerala”
