CHENNAI: Superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday met sanitation worker Padma at his residence and honoured the honest worker with a gold chain for her selfless service and good samaritan nature.
Pictures of Rajinikanth meeting the honest sanitation worker have now gone viral on social media.
For the unaware, Padma, a sanitation worker, was at work in T Nagar when she found an unclaimed pouch on the street earlier this month. The pouch contained 45 sovereigns of gold ornaments inside. The honest worker immediately informed her superiors and handed over the pouch containing the jewels to the Pondy Bazaar police, who, after making enquiries, returned the valuables to its rightful owner.
Padma's honest act came in for widespread appreciation from various quarters. In fact, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin had felicitated her and presented her with a cheque for Rs One lakh.
