SRK’s biggest global fan club, Shah Rukh Khan Universe Fan Club, shared pictures of the actor posing with acid attack survivors on their social media handles with the caption, “Jo dil jeette hain woh kabhi haarte nahi (The ones who win hearts never lose) The King Of Hearts with the ones who swim against the tide & emerged as winners in the game of life – the acid attack survivors.”
Soon after the pictures surfaced online, fans showered heaps of praises on SRK’s compassionate nature, calling him a true hero both on and off-screen.”King of hearts for a reason,” many have commented below the posts.
Meer Foundation, too, issued a statement which read, “Shah Rukh Khan’s Meer Foundation donates an undisclosed amount to the family of Anjali Singh. Anjali, a 20 year old, lost her life in a brutal hit and run that took place in Delhi’s, Kanjhawala. Anjali was the sole breadwinner of the family consisting of her mother and siblings. The aid by Meer foundation aims to help the family, especially the mother with her health issues while providing adequate relief to Anjali’s siblings.”
The Meer Foundation, which focuses on supporting women who have survived acid attacks, provides survivors with medical care and rehabilitation, as well as legal aid and vocational training to help them become financially independent. The foundation recently extended financial aid to the mother of 20-year-old Anjali Singh, who passed away in a tragic hit-and-run incident in Delhi’s Kanjhawala.
