His Inspiration
Talking to the media, Sandeep said that he made the temple in honor of Samantha Ruth Prabhu as he was immensely impressed by the charity work of the actress.
For the unversed, Samantha has joined hands with Pratyusha Support, an organization that provides the medical expenses of children with heart diseases.
He shared how his admiration for the actress slowly turned into devotion. Initially, Sandeep was a fan of her acting. However, once he learned how the actress, who comes from a middle-class family, is giving back to the community, he became her devotee.
Further, the 29-year-old fan expressed that all he wishes for is to meet Samantha, his goddess in person. In the temple, Sandeep prays for Samantha’s good health.
Spent his savings
As per the reports, the die-hard Samantha Ruth fan spent a huge chunk of his savings to construct the temple. Sandeep, a car driver, was initially afraid of people’s judgment but after his wife supported his decision, he started the project.
