Bengaluru, Feb 16: Veteran actress Sumalatha has offered to donate half acre land to the family of martyred CRPF soldier Guru in memory of her late husband, rebel star Ambareesh.

“The sacrifices of heroic warriors keep us alive and make us feel secure. We are not able to digest that a soldier from our hometown Arsikere, Mandya has been martyred. It was extremely painful to see the parents of Guru speak. I do not know what to say. We are unable to repay for his sacrifice and service. What we give is not even 1% of what they have given us,” she said.

“We are donating land for our satisfaction. If Ambareesh was alive now, he too would have done the same. I have assumed that the soul of Ambareesh will get solace with this act. Abhishek and I are in Malaysia at present. We will visit the residence of the soldier on our return and try to console them,” she said.

“We should take courage before asking them to be courageous. This is the time to do something for the country by setting aside politics. We are unable to compensate for their pain. But we can share their grief. My intention is that we should help them as much as we can. If they construct a memorial, I have decided to donate half acre land in the name of Ambareesh and Abhishek,” she said.
