Bollywood stars Meenakshi Seshadri, Rahul Roy, and actor-director Deepak Tijori graced the Diwali celebration hosted by Ronnie Rodrigues, CMD of Pearl Group of Companies.
During the celebration, Rodrigues prioritized honoring his office complex’s housekeeping, security personnel, and workers by gifting them special Diwali hampers and a token of appreciation. This generous gesture allowed the underprivileged to celebrate the festival with joy, a move that was lauded by the attending celebrities, who personally handed out gift hampers to the attendees.
While extending Diwali wishes, Meenakshi Seshadri shared, “I feel fortunate to be here and to have had the opportunity to distribute these Diwali gifts to those in need. This initiative by Ronnie Rodrigues is truly commendable, and it has been a heartwarming experience for me.”
Deepak Tijori expressed, “Ronnie Rodrigues is a remarkable individual who treats everyone equally. His commitment to making others happy is inspiring, even taking his staff on holiday trips to London. Acts of kindness like his are rare today. It’s a privilege to be here and to distribute gifts. Sitting next to Meenakshi Seshadri, someone I once dreamed of working with, has been a memorable experience for me.”
Rahul Roy extended his Diwali greetings and praised Rodrigues for his thoughtful celebration and generosity.
Businessman and philanthropist Ronnie Rodrigues conveyed his heartfelt Diwali wishes to everyone, saying, “I feel joy and peace in spreading happiness to others. True humanity lies in living for others.”
Known for his quiet acts of kindness, Rodrigues often avoids the limelight, quietly conducting charitable efforts. If thanked, he simply responds, “Thank God – I’m just a means; the real giver is above.”
Rodrigues consistently treats his staff equally, whether during his birthday or other special occasions. When traveling to London with his team, he ensures everyone is accommodated equally, staying in the same hotel, dining at the same place, and sharing the experience together.
Remarkably, Rodrigues has also been supporting orphaned children and schools. His Diwali celebration drew a large media presence, with all media personnel receiving specially curated media kits, which included smartphones. In the digital age, smartphones have become invaluable to media professionals, and Rodrigues’ thoughtful gift aimed to support their work. His generosity was widely appreciated by everyone present.
