After an initial assessment, the doctors estimated that the girl’s entire treatment will cost a huge sum, impossible for the family to arrange. Since Krisna joined the job recently, he did not have the courage to ask Shetty for help. The actor took note of the sad face of his employee and on learning about his problem, Shetty reportedly told Krisna: “Start the child’s treatment, whether it takes, one lakh or ten lakh, I shall bear the expenses.” Shetty has also inquired about the health of the girl from time to time. Lila is the youngest among three sisters in the family. She has now started talking as her condition improves slowly, family sources said. PTI
