Mumbai:
Questioning
the
social
work
done
by
corporates
in
the
country,
actor-producer
John
Abraham
says
there
are
hardly
any
billionaires
who
part
with
their
money
to
help
the
needy.
The
youth,
he
believes,
can
play
a
big
role.
"I
say
the
youth
should
contribute.
Contribution
is
when
each
one
of
us
are
willing
to
give
what
is
ours,
without
worrying
about
how
much
the
other
has.
If
we
are
all
willing
to
do
that,
we
will
have
equality," the
40-year-old
said
at
a
press
conference
organised
by
actor-philanthropist
Rahul
Bose.
Citing
the
examples
of
Bill
and
Melinda
Gates,
Warren
Buffet
and
Indian
business
tycoon
Ratan
Tata,
he
asked,
"Which
of
our
billionaires
is
parting
with
his
money?"
Rahul
and
John
came
together
to
announce
a
concert
to
raise
money
for
the
former's
'The
Foundation',
which
works
for
the
upliftment
of
underprivileged
children.
Talking
about
his
own
efforts,
John
said
he
prefers
to
live
a
simple
life,
and
gives
away
most
of
his
clothes
and
other
items.
"I
have
given
my
clothes
away.
Anyway
I
wear
very
little
clothes,"
he
quipped,
adding,
"I
have
two
to
three
pairs
of
jeans,
four
to
five
shirts
which
you
will
see
are
repeated
in
press
conferences
and
some
20
t-shirts.
You
can
instantly
recognise
them!"
"I
really
believe
that
leading
a
simple
lifestyle
helps
and
I
am
sure
you
all
can
also
do
the
same.
It
is
no
use
having
many
expensive
things
-
you
just
collect
and
horde
and
then
throw
out,"
he
added.
John
also
endorses
the
Mumbai
Marathon.
Rahul
told
reporters
that
John
"does
not
charge
anything
for
being
its
brand
ambassador".
