evidence: Hyderabad: A post about how a woman helped a young Sudha Murty, author and former chairperson of the Infosys Foundation, is being shared on social media with the claim that it is a true story. It claims that the woman, Usha Bhattacharya, who was a college lecturer, helped the young runaway girl (Sudha Murty) and bought her a train ticket from Bombay to Bangalore, and then took her to an NGO so she could be cared for. [...] We also found reviews of the short story on Goodreads. According to one of the comments, Sudha Murthy helped a girl on a train from Bombay to Bengaluru by paying for her ticket. The rest of the story, according to the comment, is about how Chitra grows up and does well in her life and never forgets Sudha Murthy. In a video, Sudha Murty reminisces about her childhood. She thanks her parents and teachers for their support and describes her childhood in Karnataka. She also talks about her engineering education in Karnataka where she was the only female in her class. She does not mention her stint in Bombay or relocating to Delhi. This demonstrates that the story in the viral post is not autobiographical.
