They might be celebrities, but even Bollywood stars are not far behind when it comes to pooling in resources for the tsunami victims.

Actors Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji and director Karan Johar were the latest to chip in for the tsunami victims. The trio met the Prime Minister on Tuesday to donate a cheque of Rs 1.15 crore to the PM's Relief Fund.

The stars also announced their plans to adopt a Tamil Nadu village hit by the December 26 disaster.

After presenting the cheque, Rani Mukherjee said, "I think all should stand together and help the tsunami victims. It is difficult to even comprehend the kind of pain those people have gone through."

Shah Rukh Khan also appealed for public contributions to the massive aid effort. He added that even a donation of just one rupee by every Indian can contribute massively to the tsunami relief.

Several other Bollywood celebrities have also opened their wallets as an effort to help tsunami survivors. Filmmaker Subhash Ghai was among the first ones to lend a helping hand by donating Rs 2.5 million.

Aishwarya Rai donated Rs 500,000 through the ‘Times Foundation’ and Vivek Oberoi has adopted tsunami-hit village Thevanampatinam in Tamil Nadu to help victims. "I have a foundation called the Yashodha Oberoi Foundation' in my mother’s name," reveals the actor.

Vashu Bhagnani plans to hold charity premiere shows, pledging the first-show collections to the victims of the tragedy. The industry, with Sanjay Dutt in the lead, is planning shows, the proceeds of which will go towards the tsunami relief.

Hrithik Roshan too donated an undisclosed amount to the same. Slowly, but surely, Bollywood is doing its bit.
