Rani Mukerji to Light Up Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Red for Cancer Awareness on World Rose Day
Bollywood star Rani Mukerji is set to collaborate with the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) in a heartfelt initiative to raise awareness about cancer. On World Rose Day, Mukerji will illuminate Mumbai’s iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link in red, symbolizing support for cancer patients. The event will include young cancer patients who will join the actress for the special occasion.

Expressing her gratitude for being part of the campaign, Rani said, I’m truly humbled to support this important cause and I thank the Cancer Patients Aid Association for choosing me to be a part of such a noble mission. Those suffering from this need all our support and compassion and we must all take part to be educated about cancer. I hope this activity plays an important role in spreading awareness.”

She adds, “As actors, we get so much unconditional love from our viewers. It also makes us responsible to stand up and do our bit whenever needed. I truly believe that actors must use their voice to spread as much awareness as possible for issues that are critical like cancer. We must foster an environment of compassion for those suffering from cancer and for the families of those going through the journey with such patients. Initiatives like these are important to drive home such messages.”
Alongside lighting the sea link, Mukerji will also present roses and gifts to the children attending the event.

World Rose Day honors the memory of Melinda Rose, a young Canadian girl who inspired many with her courageous battle against Askin’s Tumor, a rare form of blood cancer.
