Avadhoot Gupte’s rare gesture
We have been watching so many talk shows on television channels, but we have never seen the programme host donating his honorarium for the day towards the just cause. However, such an incident took place on Zee Marathi channel’s popular programme ‘Khupte tithe Gupte‘on Friday 17th December 2010.
It so happened that the host Avadhoot Gupte was interviewing two great personalities, namely Mr. Vikram Gokhale and Social activist Ms. Sindhutai Sapkal. With the progress of the discussion, the host was found deeply moved by the contribution of both of them for a social cause and kept on appreciating their work. At the end of the show, he handed over the entire honorarium for the day’s show as his contribution to the trusts run by them. He offered two cheques separately to each one of them. Isn’t that a rare gesture on the part of the host?
