South Indian Superstar Allu Arjun, who played the role of brigand Veerappan in the blockbuster Hindi and Telugu film Pushpa: The Rise, has taken the responsibility of educating a Muslim girl who had lost her father to Covid-19.

The unnamed girl wanted to become a nurse and after her father’s death, she could not afford it. She decided to approach the District Magistrate of Alappuzha V R Krishna Teja.

VR Krishna Teja decided to help the girl realize her dream and took her to Allu Arjun.

He revealed this in a post on Facebook. He wrote:

“A few days ago, I was approached by a girl from Alappuzha, who said that despite scoring 92% in her plus two exams, she was unable to pursue higher studies. The girl has been facing a lot of hardships.

I saw hope and confidence in the girl’s eyes. So, we decided to ensure her all assistance as part of the We Are For Alleppey project.

The girl said she wanted to become a nurse. Since the time had passed for a merit seat application, we contacted several colleagues looking for a management seat. Finally, we secured admission to St Thomas College of Nursing, Kattanam.

The second hurdle was to find a person who could sponsor her studies. I called our favourite movie actor Allu Arjun for the purpose and as soon as he heard the matter, he agreed to meet the entire expense of studies, including the hostel fees, for four years instead of one year.

The other day I took the girl to the college to get admission. I am sure that she will study well and become a nurse in the future who will take care of her mother and brother and will do good for society."
