star by signing the papers for eye donation.
“While acting in the film Kasi I understood
the travails of the blind, which prompted
me to start the eye bank. Moreover I wanted
to give back something to this society that
has given so much to me,” the actor
said.
Vikram also launched the Vikram Foundation
for Social Service in collaboration with
the Ramachandra Medical Hospital. Prof.
Viswanathan, HOD and an ophthalmologist
received the eye donation documents from
the star.
Kavitha, a beneficiary of eye donation,
narrated her heartrending tale at the function
that had everyone moved. Forced to go to
work at the age of 12 so that she could
buy a uniform, Kavitha suffered an insect
sting, which made her blind. Nearly 12 years
later, she got back her vision, thanks to
the Ramachandra Hospital and a donor.
Vikram also launched www.chiyaanvikram.net,
which will contain information about the
star. An interesting feature of this web
site is that it will contain small pictures
of the actor in puzzle form, which when
joined will develop into a never-seen-before
Vikram still. Other than this, there would
be a chat section in which Vikram would
answer fans queries when time permits and
exciting contests.
