Speaking at the launch of the foundation, Mahesh Babu said, Children have always been close to my heart. I am happy to support children who need cardiac care at RCHI through the Mahesh Babu Foundation. Tiny hearts deserve the greatest care.
Mahesh Babu has been a strong supporter of causes that save sick children. The actor, through his foundation, has facilitated heart operations for over 1,000 children through Andhra Hospitals.
Meanwhile, the actor is associated with the Heal A Child Foundation that supports kids who have no financial support and cant afford medical expenses.
