Impressed by Samantha’s charity work, fan builds temple for her

A young ardent fan of South Indian actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has constructed a temple for her and placed her idol in it, at his house at Alapadu village of Tsunduru mandal in Bapatla district of Andhra Pradesh on Friday, coinciding with her birthday. The village is about 10 km from Tenali and around 40 km from Guntur.

Twenty-nine-year-old Sandeep from Tenali, a car driver, spent a major part of his earnings on construction of the temple. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Sandeep said he was impressed by the good work taken up by the actor through Pratyusha Support, a charity that sponsors free medical services for children with congenital heart diseases.
