Pawan Kalyan gives financial support to rifle shooter Rekha
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,July 27 2012]
She is among the top 15 best rifle shooters in a country of 1.2 billion people. C Rekha, an ambitious sportswoman from Anantapur, has dreams to win a medal at the Olympics. She is a champion but suffers from lack of needed sports equipment. Rifle shooting is a costly proposition. When I contacted Power Star through some channel and talked to him about my problem, he reacted favourably. He encouraged me by lending a financial support of Rs. 5 lakhs and also instilled spirit in me by his words, she said.
Rekha has now seen the unknown side of Pawan the actor. I have only known him as an actor. Today I know the greatness in him. He spoke to me like a brother, she added.
Pawan's long-time liking for Rifle shooting is well-known. We have seen him play the sport in most of his films.
