In a touching gesture, Hrithik Roshan has decided to raise over Rs 20 lakhs for Indian para-athletes who want to participate in the Paralympics in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil next year. Reportedly, Hrithik will raise funds for swimmers Sharath Gayakwad and Niranjan Mukundan, and power-lifters Sakina Khatun and Rajinder Singh Rahelu. Hrithik said, “When I read reports about the treatment to para-athletes at a sports meet, I was deeply saddened and empowered to make a change. We not only want to raise funds for their training but also create awareness amongst corporates and the masses about supporting Indian para-athletes. Through this, we want to celebrate their spirit and courage and create an example for others to follow.” Hrithik got in touch with friend Kunal Kapoor for the same who directed him to a fund raising organisation. The actor will raise money through his brand HRX and will also tie-up with other brands to raise the sum in two months.
