Assuring her of his support, Rama Rao encouraged Shruthi to pursue her studies without fear. “Don’t worry. Your education is my responsibility. Move forward with confidence and study well,” he told her over the phone.

Shruthi’s parents and other family members thanked Rama Rao for responding to her appeal and Laxman Babu for visiting their home and handing over the assistance.
