Chennai: Kamal Haasan inaugurates water serving machine on his birthday

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India]: It’s legendary actor Kamal Haasan’s birthday today and to mark his special day he inaugurated a water serving machine that draws water from the air in Chennai’s Egmore Children’s Hospital.

Minister for Health and Family Welfare of Tamil Nadu Ma. Subramanian and Minister P. K. Sekar Babu welcomed and participated in the event in the traditional way.

Sharing his thoughts on the new project, the actor said, “More than a political business, it is a humanitarian one. Regardless of differences, it is time to bring all good people together. Honourable Ma. Subramanian and honourable Minister P. K. Sekar Babu have come here on humanitarian grounds, as have I. Here is a Vayu jal (air-water) machine, which we have been using for the past two years on the Raj Kamal office terrace, and I drink that water. We can consume pure water without scarcity. I trust that more than we, the government can do such things. Giving this machine to the hospital would encourage others to do the same in all hospitals, which will be beneficial.”

He added, “This machine was created by Indians, Tamilians, and IIT (Madras). We can drink fresh water without fear of running out. Those here (Ministers) will take this and make sure this machine is installed. It’s completed by my Kamal art centre, and I don’t want political influence on this. Those who came here are not motivated by politics but by humanitarian concerns. I welcome everyone. Humanism does not require politics.”
