Samantha,
who
is
known
for
her
interest
in
philanthropy,
has
once
again
displayed
her
large
heartedness
by
donating
a
huge
amount
to
the
rain-hit
Chennai.
Being
a
Chennaite
herself
and
a
popular
actress
in
the
state,
Samantha
responded
to
the
devastation
caused
in
the
city
due
to
floods.
The
actress
announced
an
aide
of
30
Lakhs
to
Tamilnadu
CM
relief
fund,
through
her
Pratyusha
organisation.
In
fact,
she
was
criticized
by
many
on
social
platforms
for
not
helping
the
city
and
its
people
till
now.
She
was
also
bashed
for
not
appreciating
actor
Siddharth's
relief
work,
who
is
her
ex-boyfriend.
However,
the
actress
replied
to
the
criticism
with
great
patience
and
said
everybody
is
appreciative
of
good
works.
Samantha
has
also
participated
in
Mana
Madras
Kosam
and
had
sent
relief
material
to
Chennai
since
she
is
stuck
shooting
in
Hyderabad.
Besides
that,
the
actress
has
now
announced
a
huge
amount
today,
for
which
she
really
needs
to
be
appluaded.
