During the event, Vijay Deverakonda made an unexpected and heartwarming announcement, demonstrating his deep appreciation for his fans.

He conveyed his sentiments in Telugu, expressing his joy and desire to share it with his dedicated fans. The Arjun Reddy star clarified that the money he was donating came from his personal account, emphasizing the sincerity of his gesture.
The actor's decision to give back to his fans is not new; earlier in the year, he had sent 100 lucky fans on an all-expenses-paid trip to Manali. This philanthropic act aligns with his broader commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those who admire and support him.
In his address, Deverakonda also spoke about his motivation and career aspirations. He shared his desire to earn well, make his parents proud, and gain respect in society.
