“It was a memorable Diwali. My father gave me a ₹500 note and asked me to burn it. I was shocked and asked him why he was asking me to do such a thing. He told me, ‘But that is exactly what you are doing. You are buying crackers and bursting them. What if you use the money to buy some chocolates and give them to the needy,” shared the actress.
She added, “I must have been around 9 or 10 year old girl. I remember we went to the sweets shop, bought sweets and distributed them among the homeless. I felt different kind of happiness that day and have not burst crackers ever since.”
Meanwhile, Rakul returns to screens with Indra Kumar’s Thank God which hit theatres on October 25. Starring actors Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra in lead roles, the film has had a decent box office opening, collecting more than Rs 8 crores.
