Oscar-winning actor Matt Damon has visited India as part of his work with the H2O Africa Foundation and been hailed by its Hindu people.
Damon, 38, co-founded the foundation in 2006, which aims to raise awareness about clean water initiatives.
The foundation has already set up projects in countries such as Uganda, Central African Republic, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Niger.
It is claimed Damon plans to set up a similar project in India after he visited Delhi and Chennai.
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has praised Damon’s efforts to ensure people around the world receive clean water and Zed has urged other celebrities to take a similar stance and help in other projects such as this.
Zed, the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, said all religions say to help the homeless and he also offered his support to Damon if he needs it for the project, as well as other charity missions in India.
Zed revealed that Damon stayed in the Radisson Hotel in Mahipalpur in Delhi and reportedly ate dal, chapatis and kebab during his stay there.
