Sonam Kapoor Gets A Golden Pen From Pankaj Kapur

Director Pankaj Kapur has apparently gifted Sonam Kapoor, a limited edition 24-carat gold plated luxury pen studded with diamonds worth a whopper.
This particular gift because Kapur discovered Sonam’s love for writing during the shooting of Mausam. No, the brand of the pen wasn’t the one Sonam and dad Anil Kapoor endorse. Source

Hrithik Roshan - The Generous Man With Golden Heart

Hrithik Roshan has sponsored the surgical operations of 10 children of the Seven Hills Medical Foundation (SHMF)’s pediatric programme in the Mumbai suburb of Andheri.
Dr Bhujang Pai, Head of Radiology SHMF, says, “We have started a Save A Heart programme as a public initiative. We do lots of free open-heart surgeries. We thought of getting someone who is very fond of kids and who kids are fond of as the face of our programme. I know Hrithik and his family. We are family friends. I asked his parents if we could get him involved in this programme in any way.”
Dr Pai continues, “Hrithik not only agreed to be the face of the SHMF scheme for children, but also donated Rs. 15 lakh for the heart operation and post-operative care of 10 children who registered in the scheme.”
Says the doc, “Lakhs of children are born in India with heart defects. Because of lack of proper infrastructure and financial assistance, most die before their first birthday. Nearly eight in every thousand children are born with a congenital heart defect.
Through this scheme, poor parents won’t have to run from pillar to post for their children’s medical treatment. We want to reach out to people in a big way and so Hrithik’s hoardings will be all over India.”
The heart surgery of each baby costs a lakh and a half rupees and Hrithik donated the amount immediately so these operations could take place as soon as possible.
“We have a scheme where if someone pays R 1.5 lakh for the heart surgery of a baby he can adopt the baby. The baby will send him a card on his birthday as he’s saved his/her life etc,” added the doc.

Hrithik Roshan Too Has A Golden Heart

Unlike many actors who leave no opportunity to turn social work activities into nice photo-ops, Hrithik traces a different line. After playing the role of a quadriplegic in GUZAARISH, Hrithik is so moved by the plight of these patients that he has started actively engaging in helping such people.
Hrthik’s physiotherapist Dr. Indu Tandon, who helped Hrithik research his character in the film and taught him the body language of people who are quadriplegic, reveals Hrthik’s secret. Say’s she, ‘After Hrithik came in close contact with quadriplegics, he was moved by their plight. We as a country still need to do a lot to take care of such patients. Now, Hrithik has started financing some patients and even rented an apartment for one deserving patient in Andheri. Hrthik’s concern about such patients is so strong that he plans to start a long term association with their cause so that he can highlight their plight and help them in a better way.’
With Hrthik’s little known secret about his social work busted, this gesture is only going to add to his popularity. Source
