THRISSUR: Actor-politician Suresh Gopi has yet again offered his helping hand to a financially stricken woman in Thrissur. The help from the BJP leader this time fell on Dhanya, who sells jasmine flowers near Guruvayur temple premises. Suresh Gopi also gave word about giving bulk orders to Dhanya for jasmine flowers on the occasion of his daughter’s wedding. Suresh Gopi will reach Guruvayur on Sunday to meet Dhanya’s family. Recently, the video of Dhanya explaining her struggles in life went viral across social media. A news channel even aired a show featuring Dhanya which caught the actor’s eyes.

Dhanya now lives with her husband and child in a rented house. Her husband is a heart patient and there is also her mother-in-law living with them, who is also a patient. Dhanya’s family abandoned her longback after failing to accept her affair. And now, she is the sole earner of the family, trying hard to make ends meet.

To live a modest life, she takes her child along and reaches the temple to sell jasmine flowers every morning. There will be free lunch served in the temple every day which makes her satiate hunger to some extent. For every single month, Dhanya’s husband needs Rs 8000 for medicine alone.

Suresh Gopi had earlier promised that he would pay Rs 1,600 every month from now to Maryakutty and Annamma, who begged with an earthen pot in protest against not getting the welfare pension.
