Jacqueline Fernandez visits child with hydrocephalus, pledges full support for his treatment

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has stepped in to support a child suffering from hydrocephalus, a rare and serious neurological condition.

In a video now making rounds online, Jacqueline is seen visiting the child and their family, assuring them she would personally cover the medical expenses needed for treatment, Jacqueline is also seen feeding the child by her own and talking to his family.

Hydrocephalus, often described as “water on the brain,” happens when cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the brain’s ventricles, creating dangerous pressure on brain tissues. Doctors warn it can cause severe complications if left untreated, and the cost of surgery or long-term care often becomes overwhelming for families. Fernandez’s gesture, many say, sheds light on both the medical urgency and the financial strain attached to such cases.

The actress wasn’t alone during her visit. She was accompanied by Hussain Mansuri, a Mumbai-based philanthropist and influencer, who has been vocal about social causes. Together, they not only met the child but also promised continued support—something that struck a chord with many viewers. “It’s heartwarming to see celebrities putting their reach to good use,” one netizen wrote after watching the clip.

This isn’t the first time Jacqueline has been associated with charitable initiatives, but the personal nature of this meeting makes it stand out. Spending time with the child and family, listening to their challenges, and stepping up with a concrete solution, that’s what resonated most.
