Hope people put their money to good use: Lakshmi Manchu

The actor hopes that people have realised the importance of money in these times

It has been a busy lockdown for Lakshmi Manchu. With the help of her NGO, she has been distributing essential commodities to the needy during the health crisis. Urging everyone to do their bit, she says, “The plight of our poor immigrants and the workers who work at our homes is very sad. They’re deprived of their monthly incomes and are greatly suffering. Feeding them is more important than anything right now.”

The actor says that the only way to stop domestic violence is by empowering women

She asserts that the lockdown has helped people realise that life’s all about doing greater good for the society. “The one change I would hope to see in the post-Corona world is less of unnecessary gathering of crowd such as during weddings which is all about people showing off their luxury and money. Money can be used for better things than pompous living. Going ahead, I hope people don’t throw their money around but put it to good use,” she shares.

The Desperate Housewives actor came up a video series a while ago where she interacted with big names from the fields of politics, films and sports. She says that it has helped her battle panic. “In the beginning of the lockdown, I didn’t know where I was headed and all my plans stood cancelled. That brought me a lot of anxiety. Doing this show gave me a lot of insight and it helped people cope with what they are dealing with,” she signs off.
