Hrithik Supports Save A Heart Campaign


Hrithik Roshan is not only incredibly handsome and perhaps the only BEAUTIFUL actor that Hindi cinema has seen for quite some time but what makes him different is the fact that is genuinely a good person. He does not pretend to be nice unlike many actors on screen but rather believes in doing things.

An interesting fact about Hrithik is that due to his super hero persona in films like Krishh he is very famous amongst kids. He also once said that unlike many actors his fan following lies mostly with the senior citizens and the very young audience, which is something that not many super stars can claim either.

Anyhow, Hrithik is now part of a very good cause and campaign that is being run by Seven Hills Medical Foundation (SHMF) which is known as "Save A Heart Programme". The head of SHMF is somebody who knows Hrithik and his family and approached them if Hrithik could be the face of this campaign since he is very popular amongst kids. Hrithik agreed immediately. 

Through this program they want to create awareness about open heart surgeries. In fact, Hrithik not only agreed to be part of the marketing and face on the hoardings, he donated 15 lak for the cause which will help the surgery and care of 10 children immediately.

Poor people will benefit from this campaign as they won't have to run here and there for the treatment of their newly born children. Each operation costs about Rs. 1.5 lak and if somebody donates this amount he or she can sponsor or adopt one child in this way. 

It is a good cause and Hrithik has gracefully and generously supported it. This is what we really like about this man.
