The 39-year-old star associated with Chinu Kwatra, founder of Khushiyaan Foundation to organise the donation drive in order to help the BMC cleaning staff working on the beaches post the cyclone.

Sharing insights into the same, Chinu said, "It was extremely thoughtful of Maniesh to extend his support for the BMC workers and we are glad to be a part of his contribution. He provided ration kits to the families as a mark of respect and admiration for their hard work towards the society." Apart from this, Maniesh has also donated shoes for underprivileged kids to the NGO Khushiya Foundation.
