HYDERABAD: Actor-philanthropist Sonu Sood has decided to take up the responsibility of three orphans living in Yadadri- Bhuvanagiri district of the state.
“They are no longer orphans. They will be my responsibility,” Sood tweeted on Friday while responding to the plight of the three children who lost their parents. “I have seen several videos of Sonu Sood uncle helping the needy.
If only such an uncle came to our rescue, I would like to become a doctor and take care of poor,” nine-year-old Manohar of Atmakur said and added that he also must take care of his two younger siblings.
Satyanarayana, the father of the children, died a year ago. Their mother, a daily-wager, fell ill a week ago. “We thought she would recover as her aged mother had also come to attend to her,” a neighbour said. The children’s mother Anuradha died and the villagers made contributions to perform her last rites.
“The aged parents of Anuradha are in no position to raise the children. Someone should come forward to help the children,” a woman of the village said.
Manohar, who has a sister and a younger brother, feeds them by bringing food from the villagers. Sood responded to the plight of the children after watching a television report.
