Pashanam Shaji is a well-known star to Malayalees. Saju sold his own house and built a new house for the family of a cancer patient. Recently when Saju revealed this, it went viral. Saju and his wife’s charity work is according to the letter that the right hand should not know the left hand. The actor had once found money for the operation of a sick child by conducting a show involving artistes he knew. Artist Sumesh Chandran’s brother said that the actor once managed to find money for the operation of a child who couldn’t bear it. Artist Sumesh Chandran’s brother told us that we did a show and found money for the operation of a child who couldn’t bear it. That day, we artists all put on a big show. When the artists were called to perform at the show, they came running in good spirits. During the interval, the organizers gave me around 7 lakh rupees. We handed it over to the boy’s father. Then three days later the same organizers called again. He said that he has got another three lakh rupees.
It made the child’s father angry because of them. Then the operation was done beautifully. The child survived. Later, Saju revealed the experience and said that my wife and I went to see the child on his birthday. Similarly, Saju has stories to tell from his life experiences about how he got back when he felt relieved and helped. Saju shared one such experience in an interview with Milestone Makers the other day. I’ve even gotten paid for helping. One day Anees and I were going to Palarivatta, and we saw a mother and mother on the road. When they asked if we could drop them off at Vytyla, we put them in the car. I searched all their information during the trip.
She said that she was living in a hostel in Ernakulam and had to leave because she could not pay the rent. So when they got down to Vytila and started leaving, I paid the rent money, auto fare and money for food. At first I thought I could take them to my house and make them stay. But Anees forbade me. So we sent them away after paying for the essentials. He also gave a number to call if needed. The next day the mother’s phone came. I called to talk about my business. The woman asked me to buy me a chance in the movie. When I replied that there would be no permanent job in the cinema and we could send him for some other job, the lady got angry.
