In a heartfelt gesture, Young Tiger Junior NTR responded to the final wish of a 19-year-old fan, Kaushik, who is suffering from terminal bone cancer. The young fan’s condition has been deteriorating, and he has been bravely battling the disease for some time.
Recently, Kaushik’s parents spoke to the media in Tirupati, revealing their son’s poignant final wish: to watch NTR’s upcoming film ‘Devara’ before he passes away. The parents tearfully appealed for assistance, explaining that Kaushik has been pleading with doctors to keep him alive long enough to see the film.
Upon learning about Kaushik’s situation, Junior NTR promptly reached out with a video call, providing emotional support and encouragement. During the call, NTR advised Kaushik to always keep smiling, stating, “You look good when you smile,” and offered words of comfort and strength.
In response to Kaushik’s expression of disbelief at speaking with him, NTR replied, “How can I not talk to my fans?” He also inquired about Kaushik’s health, expressing his hope for a full recovery and emphasizing the importance of health over film matters. NTR wished Kaushik well and encouraged him to focus on his recovery and his family.
Kaushik’s parents, during the media briefing, highlighted the financial burden of the treatment, estimating a cost of ₹60 lakhs. They made a heartfelt plea to the government and philanthropists for support in covering the medical expenses.
