On the occasion of World Rose Day, Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji will collaborate with the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) to raise awareness about cancer by lighting up the iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Mumbai.

This symbolic gesture will shine a bright red light in honor of cancer patients. Rani will also be accompanied by young cancer patients for this memorable event, making it a moment of hope and solidarity.

Speaking about her involvement, Rani expressed her gratitude for being chosen to support this noble cause. "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." said the acclaimed actor.

Rani further added that actors hold a unique position in society, receiving so much unconditional love from their fans. "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." she said.

Along with lighting the Sea Link, Rani Mukerji will be distributing roses and gifts to the children involved in the event, symbolizing love, care, and support.

World Rose Day is a special occasion that commemorates the life of Melinda Rose, a 12-year-old Canadian girl who battled Askin’s Tumor, a rare form of blood cancer.

As Rani’s effort exemplifies, “In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.” — Flora Edwards.
