Prabhas may stay away from the spotlight off screen, but stories about his kindness keep finding their way out. Popular TV anchor Suma Kanakala has revealed that the Baahubali star has been making monthly donations for years to support the maintenance of an old-age home in Khammam — a gesture she described as rare and deeply moving.
The revelation came when Suma responded to a fan’s comment asking her to speak about Prabhas and his nature beyond films.
“A Very Rare Kind of Support,” Says Suma
Suma shared that several years ago, she was involved in helping build an old-age home in Khammam and had reached out to members of the Telugu film industry for support. According to her, Prabhas stepped in immediately, not just during construction but long after the project was completed.
She explained that while many celebrities helped generously at the time — including Pawan Kalyan, who also made a significant contribution — Prabhas stood out for what he did next.
Unlike one-time donations, Prabhas reportedly continued sending money every month to help with the home’s upkeep and to support the elderly residents. Suma described this kind of sustained involvement as something “very rarely seen these days.”
Help That Didn’t Stop With the Launch
Suma also acknowledged the role of Lakshmi Manchu, crediting her Memu Saitham initiative for supporting similar causes. But she made it clear that Prabhas’s commitment went beyond campaigns or public charity drives.
According to her, his monthly contributions have continued quietly over the years, without announcements or publicity — a detail that has earned widespread praise from fans online.
Fans React: “That’s the Real Heroism”
Soon after Suma’s comments surfaced, fans flooded social media with appreciation, calling Prabhas’s gesture “real heroism” and praising him for choosing consistency over visibility. Many pointed out that while stars often donate during crises, long-term support for everyday needs like elder care is far more meaningful.
Prabhas on the Work Front
On the professional side, Prabhas is currently gearing up for the release of The RajaSaab, a horror-comedy directed by Maruthi, slated to hit theatres on January 9. At the film’s recent pre-release event, Maruthi made headlines by publicly vouching for the film, even inviting disappointed viewers to question him personally if it failed to deliver.
Prabhas, standing beside him, smiled throughout the moment and later praised the film’s climax, saying he was “speechless” after seeing how it turned out — a comment that further fueled anticipation among fans.
Final Words
In an industry where generosity is often loud, Prabhas’s quiet, long-term support of an old-age home tells a different story — one rooted in responsibility rather than recognition. As Suma Kanakala rightly pointed out, it’s not the size of the donation alone, but the consistency and intention behind it that truly stand out.
Sometimes, the most powerful acts never make it to the stage — they happen quietly, month after month.
