It’s a family affair

Actor Prithviraj’s penchant for fancy cars and fancy numbers is no secret. RTO K. Manoj Kumar confirms, “Besides Prithviraj, there were two other people bidding for the fancy number, but then he messaged me saying that he was withdrawing from the bid and instead wanted to donate that money to the flood victims.” The actor kept his promise and it was his brother Indrajith who, through his social media handle, let the world know that Prithviraj had donated the biggest consignment of flood relief materials to those affected in Wayanad through Indrajith’s voluntary organisation Anbodu Kochi. Not only Prithviraj, Indrajith and his wife Poornima practically lived in the relief centre set up in Kochi in the past seven days ensuring that the relief materials reached the needy. Indrajith says, “Prithvi called me and informed that he wanted to donate one truckload of relief materials for those affected by the flood and asked me how to go about it. I found out what was needed in Wayanad through Deputy Director of Panchayat Timple Maggie, who is also an Anbodu Kochi member, and sent him a list of items which Prithvi ensured was bought and sent to our collection centre.” Indrajith informs that this was their single biggest consignment till now carried through truck No.26 to Thirunelli grama panchayat in Wayanad.
