SRK commits to bear the treatment expenses of Kashmiri orphans

Charity and Bollywood stars always go hand in hand. Filmstars have always associated themselves with social causes, be it for child education, be it donations to hospitals and charitable organizations or bringing smiles to children suffering from incurable diseases. This time, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has committed to bear all the expenses for the treatment of two Kashmiri orphan children who suffered severe burns during a terrorist grenade attack in Srinagar.
These two children named Mudassar and Amina received burn injuries when two months ago their hoem at J & K was attacked by terrorists and their parents were killed by the grenade attack. The children suffered some grenade shrapnel injuries and severe - more than 30 percent - burn injuries and they were shifted to a local hospital in Srinagar.
When Ali Irani, the head of department, physiotheraphy & sports medicine at Nanavati Hospital, Vile Parle, visited the hospital under the auspices of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists, he suggested that they could be shifted to Mumbai for getting the best treatment, at the Nanavati Hospital. Irnai also requested SRK for help.
Not only did Shah Rukh readily agree to the suggestion but he also visited the two orphans at the hospital and has promised to take them to his home in Bandra to play with his children, Aryan and Suhana.
“He has made it clear - ‘no limits’ - to the expenses for treating Mudassar and Amina,” Irani said adding, “He has requested that this must be kept completely confidential, but the information somehow leaked out. There is no count of the number of children that he has helped so far.”
A few years ago, Shah Rukh had donated Rs.5 million (Rs.50 lakhs) to the children’s ward of the hospital in memory of his mother, Lateef Fatima Khan, who died 18 years ago.
