Early on Wednesday, Sai visited the famous Durga temple in Vijayawada. Dressed in a white tee-shirt and jeans, with his hair held back by a band, the actor performed a puja. He also interacted with temple authorities and spoke to the press after his visit. He told them he was in the city to donate money to the old age home after the recent floods, as promised.
