He is no less than a God to us,” said Nageswara Rao, the farmer who received the tractor from the actor.

A video of the two girls named Vennela and Chandana tilling a farm had gone viral. The two took the yoke on their shoulders to till the land as the family could not hire a tractor or oxen to plough the land. Their father Nageswara Rao, who used to run a tea stall in Madanapalle Mandal for the past 20 years was left with no source of income after the lockdown decided to return to his native village Rajuvaripalle to do farming.

Taking to Twitter, Sood said the girls should be allowed to focus on their education and he will provide the family with a tractor.
