The novel coronavirus pandemic continues to devastate the global citizens killing nearly fifteen thousand people and totally crashing the economies to abysmal lows in history. The new strain that damages the respiratory system of the aged and those with weaker immune systems is also playing spoilsport to many private functions planned well ahead.

Lyricist and dilaogue writer Arun Bharathi has shared that three months back he had planned to celebrate in a grand manner his wife Padma's birthday and her baby shower on Sunday March 22nd. However due to the importance of social distancing and janata curfew he has canceled the event and instead has donated the expenses amount to the needy.

Nice gesture indeed from Arun who wrote the super hit opening song 'Danga Danga' in Thala Ajith's 'Viswasam' and several others.

இன்று பத்மாவின் பிறந்தநாளையும் வளைகாப்பையும் ஒன்றாக நடத்த மூன்று மாதங்களுக்கு முன்பிருந்தே கனவுகளோடு அவ்வளவு ஏற்பாடுகளும் செய்தோம். ஆனால் விழிப்புணர்வின் சிறு துளியாக நிகழ்ச்சியை ரத்து செய்துவிட்டு, அந்த பணத்தில் எளிய மக்களுக்கு சிறிய அளவில் உதவியதில் மன நிறைவு. @padmavathyvae pic.twitter.com/HrvZzGbEyC
