Shah Rukh Khan’s philanthropic NGO, Meer Foundation has taken upon itself to extend financial aid to the family of Anjali Singh, the 20-year-old girl, who lost her life on New Year’s morning as she was dragged under a car for several kilometres in Delhi. The actor’s charity organisation has donated money to Anjali’s family so that they can manage their daily expenses during their time of need.
As per media reports a source was quoted that said, “Shah Rukh Khan’s Meer Foundation has donated an undisclosed amount to the family of Anjali Singh. Anjali was the sole breadwinner of the family which includes her mother and siblings. The aid by Meer Foundation aims to help the family, especially the mother with her health issues while providing relief to Anjali’s siblings."
SRK founded the Meer Foundation in October 2013. It is named after the actor’s father Meer Taj Mohammed Khan. The NGO works at the ground level to empower women. This donation to Anjali’s family is done keeping in line with their aim.
Anjali’s hit-and-run case sent shockwaves across the country. Investigations are going on in the case and her family has a long road ahead in their pursuit of justice to bring the perpetrators to punishment. The amount of the donation has not been disclosed as SRK often makes anonymous donations and his affinity to being a silent benefactor when it comes to his philanthropic efforts.
