The 65th Filmfare Awards event was surreal for the happening Vijay Deverakonda. The actor won the first-ever Filmfare award for Best Actor for the blockbuster hit Arjun Reddy. However, the actor took the celebration to another level by saying that he would want to donate his award to the Telangana Chief Minster’s Relief Fund (CMRF) rather than being decorative piece on the shelf of his house.

Vijay Deverakonda opined that he was moved by many people seeking Telangana minister KTR’s help on Twitter, following which he decided to auction his award and donate the money to the chief minster’s fun which will be of some help to the needy. The actor took to socil media and wrote, “Roju Twitter lo Chusta, entho mandi help adigithe, @KTRTRS anna CMRF nundi help chestaru. If my first award can be auctioned and money/awareness can be raised towards this, That’ll be an epic 1st award.” Well, Vijay Deverakonda already has scores of fans whom he fondly refers as “rowdies” and now with this noble gesture he has won many heats too.
Interestingly, KTR responded to Vijay Deverakonda’s tweet. Firstly, minister KTR congratulated him for the award and then for his noble gesture stating that he would come up with the process soon. Have a look at the Twitter conversation exchange between Vijay and KTR.
