Actor Arjun Gowda turns ambulance driver to help people in need

While the pandemic is wrecking havoc all round and people's lives have been affected, there are some Good Samaritans who have chosen to rise to this occasion and do their bit for the people. Among those is Kannada actor

Arjun Gowda

who has turned

ambulance

driver to help people in need. The actor, who has acted in films like

Yuvarathnaa

, Odeya,

Rustum

and

Aa Drushya

, has used this break time from filming to ensure that he helps those around him. He's started what he has named Project Smile Trust that aims to reach out those who are stuck without any help during this pandemic.

Arjun says that he's using his ambulance to provide services that include both medical help by taking the patients to the hospital and also assisting those who are helpless with the final rites of those who have succumbed to

COVID

. "I've been on the road for a couple of days and I've already helped out around half a dozen people with assitance for final rites. We want to ensure that we help out anyone in need irrespective of where they come from or what religion they practice. I'm also ready to travel across town for help. I ended up taking someone who lives in

Kengeri

all the way to

Whitefield

to get them admitted in the hospital. I plan on continuing with this help for the next couple of months as the current situation is quite back and I want to do my bit to people in whatever little way that I can," says Arjun, who adds that he also is ready to help with the delivering of oxygen for those in need.
