Following in host Salman Khan's footsteps, Shilpa Shetty donates Dus Ka Dum earnings to NGO, hopes to rebuild orphanage with sum

Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty Kundra
One of the celebrity guests on Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum 3 over the weekend, Shilpa Shetty Kundra won Rs 10 lakh after beating rival contestant Farah Khan in the final round. Taking her philanthropic work ahead, the actor has donated her earnings to the Shilpa Shetty Foundation, her not-for-profit organisation that provides shelter and education to orphans.
Having kick-started the initiative eight years ago, Shetty has taken several children's homes under her wing, underwriting the cost of running them. She says the recent winnings will help her rebuild an orphanage in Belgaum — something that been on her wish list for a while. "The orphanage in Belgaum houses 60 children who are HIV survivors. For the past eight years, Raj [Kundra, husband] and I have been taking care of their accommodation, food and other needs. With this money, I want to rebuild the place. The renovation could easily cost Rs 40-50 lakh, but it's a start," she says.
