Behind star’s irresponsible image is a heart of gold

Valorous Nurturant (VN) has always had the image of a star who constantly sought preferential treatment, which isn’t always untrue. But VN’s heart of gold also shines through in times of need.

She’s proven this to her friends and loved ones time and again, especially during the lengthy lockdown—when many of her jobless pals in the biz started feeling the pinch. In the midst of everybody’s forced joblessness, VN had a special task for her driver: Deliver hefty goods freshly picked from a vast track of agricultural land she owns in her province.

The poor guy had a hard time delivering the packages all over the metro in two days, but he said he was happy he became part of VN’s “relief-distribution” program. “You don’t hear about her generosity in the news, but behind VN’s bratty, irresponsible image is a heart of gold,” he told our source.
