Actor -politician Kamal Haasan, gifted a car to Sharmila, a woman bus driver from Coimbatore who recently quit her job over a controversy surrounding the issue of a travel ticket to DMK MP Kanimozhi last week.
The car will enable Sharmila, Coimbatore’s first woman bus driver to become a driver entrepreneur and use the car for rental service. The Makkal Needhi Maiam chief Kamal Haasan said that he was upset to hear of the recent debate surrounding Sharmila.
It may be recalled that when MP Kanimozhi had taken a ride in the bus driven by Sharmila from Gandhipuram to Peelamedu, the conductor of the bus disrespected the MP. Moreover, the management had accused Sharmila of seeking publicity by inviting prominent personalities to travel in the bus. Therefore she had to quit her dream job.
However the management firm insisted that Sharmila quit the job on her own accord.
