Hrithik
Roshan
gifted
a
school
bus
worth
Rs
10
lakh
to
the
Dilkhush
Special
School
(for
mentally
challenged
children)
in
Juhu.
Says
a
source
from
Dilkhush
on
condition
of
anonymity,
"Yes,
Hrithik
has
donated
a
bus
to
the
school.
Currently,
we
only
have
two
school
buses
one
that
drops
off
children
to
Mahim
and
the
other
to
Jogeshwari.
The
Mahim
bus
is
in
dire
need
of
repairs.
We
had
written
to
the
actor
asking
if
he
could
help
us
in
any
way.
We
were
pleasantly
surprised
to
get
his
reply
in
a
few
days
sanctioning
the
new
bus
which
should
arrive
by
January
next
year."
The
source
adds
that
Duggu's
first
connection
with
the
school
was
through
his
wife
Sussanne
who
had
visited
them
in
2003.
"That's
when
they
started
helping
the
school
through
donations.
We
were
badly
affected
during
the
2005
floods
as
we
are
close
to
Juhu
beach.
The
ground
floor
got
damaged
and
we
sent
appeals
to
many
people
as
furniture
and
school
records
had
got
damaged.
Hrithik
was
amongst
the
first
to
respond
and
send
over
a
large
amount
immediately.
Since
then,
he's
always
been
very
generous."
The
source
says
that
HR
prefers
to
keep
a
low-key
profile.
"He
has
never
visited
the
school
but
whenever
we
have
needed
him,
he's
always
been
there.
Last
year,
he
asked
for
a
photograph
of
the
children.
We
sent
one
over.
We
have
been
running
this
school
for
40
years
on
donations
and
today,
have
100
children
whom
we
train
so
they
can
integrate
with
mainstream
society."
Some
of
the
staff
from
the
school
are
big
fans
of
the
actor.
"We
would
have
loved
it
if
Hrithik
personally
came
to
hand
over
the
bus
to
us.
But
we
also
understand
his
need
for
privacy.
At
the
staff
meeting
we
have
planned
to
watch
Guzaarish
soon."
