Dhanush supports his 'Thulluvadho Ilamai' co-star Abhinay for medical treatment, contributing Rs 5 lakh

When the film 'Thulluvadho Ilamai' was released in 2002, it not only marked the screen debut of actor Dhanush but also provided an opportunity for many young actors. Abhinay played Dhanush's close friend in that film. His simple acting and natural screen presence were well-received by the audience. After this success, he acted in films in other languages, including Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. Although he initially played various roles, over time, new opportunities diminished, and he slowly withdrew from the film industry.After retiring from the film industry, Abhinay's life faced unexpected challenges. A few years ago, he developed a serious liver-related health problem. Despite initial treatment, the disease persisted for a long time and required ongoing medical care. However, the high cost of this treatment left him in dire financial straits. Despite the support of his family, he was unable to fully cover the medical expenses. As a result, he sought financial assistance for his treatment through social media and from his friends.Meanwhile, Dhanush, who had acted alongside Abhinay in his first film, also came to know about the situation. Keeping in mind the old friendship memories, he immediately decided to do a big favor. According to The Hindu, Dhanush contributed a large amount towards Abhinay's medical expenses by donating Rs. 5 lakh from his personal funds. Reports indicate that this assistance helped cover a significant portion of his treatment costs, and Abhinay's treatment is continuing uninterrupted. This humanitarian act by Dhanush has shown that he stands by his old friends and values friendships, not only in his acting but also in his personal life.Upon learning of Abhinay's financial struggle, Tamil cinema and television star KPY Bala earlier stepped in to help the actor. He reportedly provided Rs 1 lakh from his own funds and arranged for the initial funds required for Abhinay's treatment. Bala's act led other friends and fans to step up and help. Many donated as much as they could, making it possible for Abhinay to continue his treatment.
