Lakshmi Manchu-hosted Memu Saitham has turned out to be a popular show. The idea of enlisting celebs to do jobs like selling tea/pani puri, riding autorikshaw and so on, has clicked with the audience. So much so, even though Lakshmi has successfully shot for the 27 episodes, the TV channel has asked her to shoot for 13 more, to be telecast till the end of September. So far, we have seen the participation of Mohan Babu, Ravi Teja, Rana, Manoj Manchu, Rakul Preet Singh, Akhil, among others.

Even as Lakshmi is getting all appreciation for the show, her bro Vishnu Manchu has done something which is an unprecedented charitable gesture from a film personality. Manchu Vishnu has extended assistance to the family of paralyzed Durga Goud, a former journalist. As part of his sister Lakshmi Manchu's TV show Memu Saitham, Vishnu sold Pani Puris for a day, thereby earning Rs. 75,000. Lakshmi too, on her part, donated Rs. 1 lacs to the family.

Besides this direct monetary assistance, Vishnu announced something that is many times more valuable. It's free provision of corporate education for Durga Goud's children from KG to Intermediate. In money terms, this is estimated to cost Rs. 22 lacs, approximately.

The gesture is winning accolades from different sections of the society. This is the single biggest contribution by a celebrity on the now-famous show Memu Saitham.

Remember that, only recently, Dr. Mohan Babu spontaneously announced free education till PG (even if its engineering or medical education) for two orphans adopted by actress Geeta Singh on the dais of the audio release function of Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam.
