Financial aid has been pouring in from celebrities to help the two Telugu-speaking states.

Telangana and Andhra Pradesh recently faced heavy damage caused by the relentless rains and flash floods in the regions. This wreaked havoc in the two states and left many people in distress and displaced from their homes as the houses got damaged in the floods. Amid this situation, actors have stood by the governments and expressed their solidarity by donating for the relief. One such actor is Tamil star Silambarasan aka Simbu. Financial aid has been pouring in from celebrities to help the two Telugu-speaking states. Simbu announced a contribution of Rs 6 lakh to the Chief Ministers’ Relief Funds of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This made him the first Tamil actor to extend his support for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. His generous gesture demonstrated that language barriers and regional differences do not matter when it comes to humanity and helping those in distress. His fans have appreciated his kind gesture to the cause as well. By donating, he has expressed his deep sorrow for the losses suffered by the people due to the floods and prayed for everyone to recover from the disaster quickly.

Telugu industry’s stars Jr NTR was the first to donate Rs 50 lakh each for the two states, in total Rs 1 crore.
