[www.keralites.net] Bollywood Celebrities Who Believe In Charity

 

There is no end to the news surrounding our Bollywood stars and their personal life. But, one fact that remains not much highlighted is their charity work, not because media and fans aren't interested, but mainly for the reason that charity is not something to be shown off. Some of our Bollywood celebs do participate in various charity drives and gestures, but find it best to keep it away from media. Here we bring to you some of the most charitable Bollywood celebs.
