Delivering on his promise on the auspicious occasion of Mother’s Day, Anand has shared a video of Idli Amma taking possession of her house. “Immense gratitude to our team for completing the construction of the house in time to gift it to Idli Amma on #MothersDay She’s the embodiment of a Mother’s virtues: nurturing, caring & selfless. A privilege to be able to support her & her work. Happy Mother’s Day to you all!,” Anand wrote in his tweet.
