DELHI: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has donated 10 million rupees for the victims of Chennai floods.

According to sources, Shah Rukh, who will be seen with actress Kajol in his upcoming film Dilwale, has contributed the sum to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund.

The 50-year-old “Chennai Express” star has written a letter to Jayalalithaa, chief minister of Tamil Nadu, according to sources.

In the wake of Chennai floods, many Indian actors such as Rana Daggubati of Bahubali fame, and sports persons such as Saina Nehwal and Dipika Pallikal, have come forward to help the flood victims.

About 280 people have died so far across Tamil Nadu since torrential rains on December 1 submerged tracts of Chennai and caused havoc and devastation.

Recently Khan's statement on growing intolerance in India had bugged some leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was rebuked by some “fringe” elements in the party who called him “ungrateful” and said Pakistan was a better place for him.
