For fans of Nandamuri Balakrishna, his 60th birthday would have been a momentous occasion that would have been celebrated amid great fanfare and huge gathering. However, the pandemic has made such a scenario impossible. However, the loyal fans of the actor did the unthinkable, driven by a noble thought. While taking all necessary precautions, fans, friends and close associates of Balakrishna celebrated their idol’s birthday with an element of social responsibility.
Wondering what did they do? The well-wishers of the actor had cut more than 21000 NBK60 cakes at a time at 10:10 AM on June 10 saluting heroes who have been providing relentless service during these tough times. The first of its kind feat was registered as a world record as per Wonder Book Of Records and Genius Book Of Records. Once the world swings back to normalcy, they plan to handover the appreciation letter to the actor-politician himself.
The ideator of the initiative from NBK Helping Hands, Anantapur Jagan shared, “More than 21000 of our NBK fans all over the world have cut the cake at their homes at the same time and created a world record. Directly or indirectly, more than 80,000 fans have participated in these NBK 60 birthday celebrations that day. We fans consider Balayya as our family member. It is a sweet memory for every fan, celebrating our Balayya’s Birthday with his family members. We celebrated Balayya gari birthday like a festival acknowledging his good and kind heart. Corona stopped everyone from getting out of their houses but it can’t stop our love towards Balakrishna garu.”
