Pranitha Subhash, who has done films such as 'Attarintiki Daredi', 'Rabhasa', 'Brahmotsavam' and 'Hello Guru Prema Kosame' in Telugu, has become the first actress to donate money for the well-being of affected sections among the poor in the wake of the ongoing nation-wide lockdown.

Taking to Twitter, the Bengaluru-based actress today revealed that she will be donating Rs 1 lakh towards supporting the livelihood needs of 50 families through her Pranitha Foundation. The kind-hearted damsel has joined hands with Logical Indian and Efforts 4 Good to start the initiative 'Help The Helping Hands'.

"Due to the lockdown, daily wage-earners, auto-wallahs, construction workers, etc. are finding it very difficult to have a source of income. The government is doing its bit. Still, we all should come out and help them. Rs 2,000 per family is what is needed to help them through the crisis. Through our initiative, we are planning to support 500 families. We all need your support. The money will go into buying medicines and other supplies for the poor," Pranitha said in a video message.
