Actor Rahul Bose is quietly doing his bit in the Andaman Islands that has been hard hit by the tsunami tragedy. He was one of the first to react to the news and took the initiative of reaching out help, reports glamsham.

"It was more of an emotional response," says the actor.

Not many are aware that Rahul has been actively involved with the Spastics Society, besides a social organization called Akshara on behalf of which he is fighting for gender equality and communal harmony.

And when does he find the time for all this? "It is not the question of finding time, it is a question of taking out time for these commitments," he says.

"I am trying my best to generate resources for the affected people. The main problem is access whereby one has to ensure that the relief material and other supplies reach there. It is a huge and uphill task but I am trying my level best to make it work," he says.

Fortunately for him about 20 NGOs have now come forward to form the Solidarity network under the umbrella of Akshara to deliver help. "I am representing this network," he says.
