In a sweet gesture to support a girl who was in need of a smartphone for online education, actress Taapsee Pannu has sent an iPhone to her. The student was from Karnataka, and her father requested help to buy her a smartphone to help his daughter's education.

As per reports, the girl had scored 94 per cent in her PUC or pre-university college exams, and after news of the girl's request for smartphone turned viral, many came forward to buy a smartphone and also pay for the education of the girl and her two sisters.

Taapsee was one among those who were willing to help her and said that she will send a phone immediately. Taapsee tweeted "We need more girls to study. We need every child to study. We need more doctors. This is my small effort in making sure our country has a better tomorrow".As per reports, the iPhone has reached the girl who thanked Taapsee and added that she'll work hard and clear NEET.

We need more girls to study. We need every child to study. We need more doctors. This is my small effort in making sure our country has a better tomorrow. Thank you for facilitating it :)
