Announcing

humongous
donation
with
hashtags
of
#togetherwestand
and
#humanity,
the
star
in
his
statement
wrote,
"COVID
19
has
proved
to
be
invisible
enemy
that
has
dismantled
the
livelihoods
of
innumerable
people
across
our
country.
My
own
Kannada
Film
Fraternity
has
been
badly
affected
as
well.
In
light
of
the
grave
times
we
live
in,
to
each
of
the
3000
odd
members
which
include
all
the
21
departments
of
our
film
fraternity,
I
will
be
donating
from
my
earnings,
a
sum
of
Rs
5000
to
their
personal
accounts."
Calling
his
announcement
a
ray
of
hope,
the
Stalwart
further
added,
"While
I
am
very
well
aware
that
this
may
not
serve
as
a
solution
to
the
loss
and
the
pain
caused
by
the
situation
we
are
in,
it's
a
ray
of
hope,
since
it's
HOPE
that
is
a
certainty
of
faith,
faith
of
better
times."
