To tell or not to tell

At times celebrities get accused of pulling off a publicity stunt when they donate to the needy. They post pictures and share details of their donations on social media. TV actors share their views

Keep it to yourself
Kettan Singh

I often see posts of actors, celebrities, influencers or any privileged citizen about helping people. Some also put up receipts of their donation amount. I understand some are doing this to inspire others, but still, I am not a fan of ‘Neki kar, Insta pe daal’ concept.

How you take it
Aparna Dixit

I feel there are two sides of the story. One says, if you have to donate something to someone, it shouldn’t be publicised. But when people see you doing good stuff, they might get influenced and it might motivate them to do the same.

Don’t flaunt it
Adaa Khan

I strongly feel charity shouldn’t be flaunted. I feel it is not right for celebs, who distribute food packets and stuff, to flaunt on social media. The identity of receivers shouldn’t be revealed as well.

Motivating factor

It’s a very subjective matter. Helping in tough times like this is a humanitarian act, whether you display it or not. This debate is never-ending. In my opinion, people should know that one is donating as it motivates others to join the effort.

Let them stay anonymous
Vikas Sethi

Donations should be anonymous. By revealing the identity of receivers, one might cause embarrassment to them.
