Former DMK chief M Karunanidhi, on his 86th birthday in 2010, had donated his Gopalapuram residence to a trust for running a free hospital for the poor, after his and his wife's lifetime. He donated it after getting consent from his sons. He had said the handing over of the documents was his "most memorable moment" in the house.
