If you think film actors are inaccessible to the common man and are all so full of themselves, you might want to hold that thought.

Contrary to the lavish birthday parties that actors generally throw for their children, Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly has set the bar of generosity rather high this time, by spending the day at Thrissur Medical College.

On the occasion of his son Daveed’s fourth birthday on Thursday, the actor visited cancer patients at the medical college and distributed food to over 350 cancer patients on the same day.

Nivin, who is shooting for his upcoming film, was accompanied by his mother and director of the film Sidharth Siva. Actors Gayathry Suresh, Aishwarya Rajesh, producer B Rakesh and Sathyan Anthikkad were also present.

On Thursday morning, Nivin wished his son on his birthday on Facebook.
