Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan gave Rs 5 lakh to ailing boxing legend Kaur Singh, who has been struggling to pay his medical bills.
King Khan was moved by Kaur’s struggle: an Asian Games gold medallist was finding it difficult to pay 2 lakh medical loan despite bringing laurels to the nation.
"Sportspersons bring pride to a country and it is our duty to look after them as a society. After reading about Kaur Singh, we as a sporting unit felt the need to stand by our fellow sportsman and urge everyone else to do the same in their own way. We wish Kaur Singh a speedy recovery and a healthy life."
The money was provided by Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders team. KKR wired the funds to Singh’s account in Khanal Khurd.
