While some have disclosed the amount they are contributing, some decided not to. Sonakshi Sinha who has also pledged towards the cause for daily wage workers took to her Twitter handle to observe a 'minute of silence' for all the trolls attacking her for not disclosing the amount.

Meanwhile, a few days back, Sonakshi Sinha took to her Twitter account to interact with her followers and asked them about how they were doing. Coincidently, the Akira actor's tweet came in on the same day as the Doordarshan had announced to re-telecast the Hindu mythology Ramayan.

Taking a dig at Sonakshi Sinha, her followers started trolling her and advised her to watch the epic to improve her knowledge. Reason? — 

Last year, Sonakshi Sinha was featured in Kaun Banega Crorepati where she was invited as a celebrity guest to help a contestant in a special format of the show. In that episode, she was asked the question about the mythology, ‘According to the Ramayan, Hanuman fetched the Sanjeevani herb for whom?’

Out of the four options given, Sonakshi Sinha was inclined towards answering Ram, which was the wrong answer. The contestant was saved as they took the lifeline- ‘expert’s advice’ and got to know the correct answer.
