I haven’t done anything great: Ravi Shankar
At the Chennai Institute, RC Bangalore Orchards President, D Ravi Shankar, who recently donated Rs.100 crore to The Rotary Foundation, was the cynosure of all eyes. As most of the RI officers congratulated him and made a beeline to pose with him for pictures, Ravi Shankar brushed off the accolades and insisted he was no hero.
