TUESDAY TRIVIA: When Vijay Deverakonda AUCTIONED His Filmfare Award For ‘XX’ Lakhs!

Fans are waiting with bated breath for Arjun Reddy star Vijay Deverakonda’s Bollywood debut in ‘Liger’ opposite Ananya Panday.

The handsome hunk recently celebrated his 32nd birthday. Did you know he bagged the ‘Best Actor’ award at Filmfare Awards South for Arjun Reddy?

But that’s not all. It’s what he did with his hard-won trophy that will make you proud. Now, Vijay was paid a fee of 5 lakhs for Arjun Reddy and he had demanded the same amount while auctioning the trophy.

However, the Black lady got auctioned off for a whopping 25 LAKHS to Shakuntala Divi of Divi Labs. Vijay had then donated the proceeds to the Telangana Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
