Bengaluru, Jun 20: A teenage boy, who was missing from his house in Girinagar for a month, finally returned home after watching Kannada actor Sudeep’s video message, which has gone viral on social media.

In the video, Sudeep had requested the boy to return home and assured him that he would meet him in person if he returns home. “No matter how many fights you have with your parents, nothing beats their love. Please come back home,” the actor appealed in the video.

16-year-old Manikanta, a class 9 student in a private school in Girinagar, was allegedly angry with his parents for asking him why he missed his tuition classes. He left home on May 20, and did not return. His parents approached the Girinagar police and filed a missing complaint, after which police constituted a team to look for him.

According to sources the boy was eating and sleeping in the temple premises in Tirupati. On Monday he started chatting with a tourist there and narrated his story. He claimed to have watched the video recorded by Sudeep and decided to return home. The tourist alerted the boy’s family. The family members thanked the actor and the Girinagar police for their efforts.
