Has Cristiano Ronaldo donated Rs 77 crore to help victimes of Kerala floods? Posts about Ronaldo's donation are going viral on social media.
Tweets, posts and messages claiming that Ronaldo has given Rs 77 crore for the ongoing relief work in the flood ravaged Kerala is doing the rounds on social media. The messages claim that the 33-year-old Portuguese footballer donated the huge amount.
Many even criticised the central government and Indian celebs by comparing them to Ronaldo’s gesture.
However, there is no proof or confirmation that Ronaldo has donated money for Kerala. There's is no mention of any donation or even a message regarding the Kerala floods on his official Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.
However, there are many Indian fans and followers who have appealed to him to help the Kerala flood victims.
Ronaldo may have donated or may donate in future towards the Kerala flood relief, but so far there is no confirmed or indication of this apart from some unreliable tweets and WhatsApp forwards.
On the other hand, celebrities from all across India have come forward to lend a helping hand to the flood victims. Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Sunil Chhetri are amongst those to have pledged support to Kerala.
English football club Liverpool and Spanish giants Barcelona had also offered support to those affected by the tragedy.
This is not the first time that news about Ronaldo making a charitable donation has turned out to be fake. In 2014, a viral news claimed that Ronaldo had donated $8 millions dollars to the earthquake relief effort in Nepal. But the charitable organisation Save the Children in Nepal which was said to have received the money refuted the claims and put out a statement saying Ronaldo made no such donation.
