Padma was cleaning the streets on January 11 in Chennai’s T Nagar when she found a bag lying beneath garbage. She opened it and discovered old ornaments inside the bag. She immediately contacted senior officials in the department and reported the matter to a nearby police station. The police later confirmed that the jewellery was real gold and returned it to the rightful owner.
This is not a lone incident when Rajinikanth has shown generosity. Earlier, as per reports, he had honoured his Madurai fan, Rajini Sekar. Rajini Sekar runs a small eatery selling parottas in the city and sells them at Rs 5 per piece to help feed the poor. It is reported that the actor met the fan and also gifted him and his family a gold chain as a token of appreciation.
On the work front, Rajinikanth is currently working on Jailer 2, directed by Nelson. The first film in the franchise was a massive hit at the box office.
