Why not since we're on this topic all around the forum:

Which of these celebs has a genuine interest in social causes?




Recently we saw how the 'My Choice' video of Deepika Padukone generated a lot of flak for its message. Though the makers and the participants apparently wanted to work towards a good cause of 'women empowerment', it seems from the response that it all went wrong for this project.

Well, that one might have gone wrong. However, we should admit that more and more celebs are realizing their power to make a difference and working towards various social causes. Among these good-samaritan-stars, who do you think deserves the crown for being genuinely and truly interested in the betterment of the society? While all of them deserve an applause, we, for fun, want you to pick that one winner from the admirable list.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika began 2015 for working for and helping people overcome 'depression'. At the peak of her career, Deepika announced to the whole world that herself was a victim of depression and also mentioned how she overcame it. Through the year, Deepika will be working towards this cause and helping people fight this stressful condition.

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan has always shown a good interest in community service be it via his movies or his TV show 'Satyamev Jayate'. The perfectionist Khan of B-town has worked on issues like Health care, domestic violence, alcohol abuse and female foeticide via his films. Aamir has also worked for the cleanliness drive via tourism site Incredible India.

Salman Khan

Salman's charity 'Being Human' is perhaps the most popular of celeb NGOs. Salman sells lot of merchandise through this organization, the proceeds of which goes to charity. Apart from this, Salman also donates to various hospitals for treatment of under privileged patients.

Kajol

Kajol is advocating Lifebuoy's "Help A Child Reach Five" movement. The power house actress had also been to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) summit as the hand-washing brand ambassador.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina has been regularly participating in social causes. She has also been involved in her mother Suzzane's charity organization 'Mercy Home'.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The Bachchan couple have been involved in a lot of charity projects including the support for protection of newborn girls in India. Aishwarya is also a UN Microcredit Spokesperson. She also supports PETA India. Aishwarya has pledged to donate her eyes to the Eye Bank Association of India, and appeared in a public awareness film on eye donation. In 2009 Rai was appointed as the first Goodwill Ambassador of Smile Train, an nternational charity that provides free Cleft lip and palate surgery to children in need.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra has been raising her voice towards the betterment of the girl child. The exotic actress is involved in the 'educating girl child' campaign. She is also working towards the betterment of the women who have undergone domestic violence in their life.

None of these.

Only Rahul Bose, Nandita Das and to some extent Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi seem genuine about causes and also well aware of nitty gritties of issues they take up.

Other actors are rarely aware of the details of the issue, talk inane bullshit, lend face to TV shows and events or do social tourism as they jump from cause to cause every few weeks like a fad or they do nothing except charity. Promotion and throwing money doesn't imply genuine awareness and commitment to cause.

I think quite a few of them do genuinely support social causes. However, some do it just because it improves their image. There are some who do it for both reasons. And then there are the truly altruistic celebs.

It is impossible for someone here to say one does not have genuine interest at all, unless of course you are a mind reader. But I'd like to be optimistic here and say everyone who supports such causes, somewhere deep down, do feel for the underprivileged and the downtrodden.

Even if some do it just to polish their image, I am happy with it. As long as someone underprivileged out there is getting the help he needs, I am happy about it and respect the celeb for the same.

Where is the mysterious word called "transparency"?
How much they earn? How much their assets worth? How much they give to charity? Other than photos, what is the bank statement say? NGO, GOF or just PR? why celebrate 400 Rs donations Pics) when u can give away 40 Crs without losing a teeth?

Sau chuhe khake billi hajj pe nikli... Heard that... but now I see "hajj pe nikalne ke baad billi ne hazaar chuhe khaye". 😲

Thank God, there r so so many ppl who r doing services for free and not for camera. 😊👏

All celebs do social service to look good in front of the public eye. But there a few guinene ones who pick charity that are close to their heart and support it. But even then...they still do other charity work to publice themselves. But some are worse than others obv. Like I know kareena supports the elders because she loves old people. 😆 She really does care about them. But when I see her paining houses, I find it hard to believe she wants to do it. You can tell from her face she is not interested either because she is a girly girl. Esp when they are pics out of her doing it. It screams PR. But her support for eduaction and children...I think she cares about that. You can just tell sometimes.

I think Amir genuienely cares about doing good for his country. I might be wrong, but when he talks...he genuienly seems like he cares and isn't doing it for publicity. I mean come on the guy doesn't need publicity...his films do well without them.

No, his films like Mela or Mangal Pandey were disasters.

His hypocrisy came live when his so-called_ SMJ shows on "Drink n drive" and "Domestic violence". He called upon his newly found bro Salman in next episode for TRP.

Tingu is smart enuff not call nangu on those episodes. 😉😆

They r actors.. some act better on screen than others.
