GURUVAYUR: Jasmine flowers for Suresh Gopi’s daughter's marriage will come from Dhanya, who sells jasmine flowers at the roadside of Guruvayur. An order of 300 bushels of jasmine was placed. The actor also placed an order for White Ixora.

Suresh Gopi, who came to Guruvayur yesterday, called Dhanya to the ‘Coffee with SG’ event held at the Guruvayur Tourism Facilitation Center hall. Dhanya’s husband Saneesh accompanied her with their baby.

Some days back, Suresh Gopi noticed a video circulating in social media spaces highlighting the plight faced by Thrissur native Dhanya. The story moved the BJP leader and he immediately contacted other party workers in the region and arranged for a meeting with Dhanya.

Suresh Gopi said it was painful to see the young lady struggling to make ends meet in front of the temple. Dhanya is the sole earner in the family and sells jasmine flowers near the temple area with her toddler, to raise money for her husband’s heart treatment. The family is currently in serious crisis after getting notice from the house owner to vacate immediately.

"For many years, I have been trying to meet sir(Suresh Gopi). Now it has happened and I feel very happy. Thank you" Dhanya said.
