However, the boy’s mother shared that although the actor had offered his help, they had not received any funds from him. “After the video call, some individuals approached me saying they would help, but no one provided any assistance despite waiting for three days,” she said. The family received Rs 11 lakh through government support and ₹40 lakh from TTD, which they used for Kaushik’s treatment. He is currently undergoing treatment at Apollo Hospital in Chennai, where the hospital has requested an additional Rs 20 lakh for further medical care.
