As per Forbes, he earns around 100 crores a year, so I don't see how 30 lakhs is a huge amount of money. It's just 0.3%.
If I am earning 1 crore a year and my sister asks for help with 1 lakh, I don't think I would mind helping her out.
If it were about the money, I might agree with you (probably not - women empowerment and all that).
It’s not about the money.
Sunaina to Spotboye September 2017: “My grandfather fell ill and underwent angiography, two weeks later my brother (Hrithik) had to undergo brain surgery and then his divorce. I could not handle everything. I went into depression and started eating a lot. Then I shifted to a place of my own and got diabetic, had a fatty liver (Note inserted by me : fatty liver can be from just obesity but is also seen with early alcoholic liver disease), and sleep apnoea,” she said.
Sunaina’s health troubles did not end there. “I had even developed cardiac problems. I had even developed diabetes and hypertension. I had so many health issues going against me. I had to take psychiatric help. Honestly, I could not get out of bed. I would walk 2 steps and become breathless,” she added.
She then underwent bariatric surgery at Saifee Hospital in Mumbai. “I was 140 kg before I was wheeled in, I am 65 kg today,” she said.
However, to stay healthy and not gain the weight again, Sunaina moved back to her parent’s house in Juhu and had an entire floor to herself which was earlier used by Hrithik. “ I lost 50 kg in one year. Yes, one year. That’s why you haven’t seen me around for one year.I was clearly told that I will take time to lose weight because of anti-depressants. I was eating like a maniac when I lived alone but when I shifted back to my parents’ house in August last year, I lost 50 kg in exactly one year,” she said.
By her own admission Sunaina stopped taking her antidepressants and started drinking again. So tell me Ponymo, do you really think giving her a blank check and sending her on her way is the best thing Hrithik can do for his sister?
