Vishwak Sen Helps Fish Venkat in Urgent Kidney Transplant Need
Venkat's daughter, Sravanthi, said he has been getting dialysis for many years because his kidneys do not work well. She said a kidney transplant is the only choice now. The family is looking for a donor but is facing money problems.
Young actor Vishwak Sen helped by giving Rs. 2 lakh to Venkat's family. Many people on social media are praising Vishwak Sen for his help.
Some reports said actor Prabhas will pay for Venkat's operation. But Venkat's wife Suvarna and daughter Sravanthi said this is not true. They said someone pretended to be Prabhas' manager and gave wrong information. They think Prabhas may not know about this yet but will help if he knows.
Venkat's family is asking film industry people for help. Senior actors and leaders have also asked for support. The family said even selling their house may not be enough to pay for the transplant. They are trying to find a donor from different groups.

It's deeply rewarding to be recognised for your craft: Sowmya Jaganmurthy
Sowmya Jaganmurthy is soaking in the appreciation of her film None of Her, which has been received well across the film festival circuit. Having recently won the Best Actress award at the Durgapur Film Festival, she opened up about what this win means to her, the emotional impact of her character, and the need for strong women-led stories in cinema today. Excerpts: 'WE HAD NO IDEA THAT NONE OF HER WOULD RESONATE' Ask her about her win, and the actress shares, 'It feels great. None of us had any idea that this film would go places and do so well. I have done a lot of films in the past, but I don't think I have ever gotten such recognition. It's deeply rewarding to be recognised for your craft.' 'THE RELATABILITY IS WHAT STRUCK WITH THE AUDIENCE' Though not theatrically released, None of Her is thriving on the film festival circuit. Sowmya credits the film's authenticity and emotional depth for its resonance. 'Each of the characters in the film is so real, they have so many flaws in them, they have so much goodness in them. They're not trying to be a superficial character. Everyone goes through their highs and lows, just like how life happens. That relatability is what has stuck with the audience,' she adds. It's sad that today, it's about how relatable you are on social media — how many followers you have, your brand collabs, paid promotions, not your craft Sowmya Jaganmurthy 'I KNOW THAT ACCOLADES DON'T IMMEDIATELY ATTRACT OPPORTUNITIES' Despite the accolades, however, Sowmya candidly admits that the win hasn't translated into immediate offers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo 'For an unconventional actor like myself, I know that accolades might not immediately translate into new opportunities. But I am looking forward to what comes next. I haven't gotten any calls or anything. But I do look forward to working with some good directors with good scripts and good characters,' she says. 'KANNADA INDUSTRY STILL NEEDS TO EXPLORE MORE WOMEN-DRIVEN ROLES' While talking about the lack of strong roles for women in the industry, she says, 'When you see OTT platforms and some of the biggest series that have been released last year—whether it's Hindi or Telugu — there have been characters written for women. I'm hoping that we will slowly open up to that idea. Women don't need to be just playing a mother or a sister. They can have depth, their characterisation. But in the Kannada industry, sadly, we're not exploring that aspect at all. '
