Sonakshi Sinha to raise awareness about eye donations | PINKVILLA

Sonakshi Sinha has joined hands with Mahindru Foundation to raise awareness about eye donations. The actress has been signed on as the brand ambassador of the foundation.

With this initiative, the “Dabangg” actor endeavours to motivate people to pledge their eyes which can bring colours to someone’s lives.

Extremely glad to be a part of this initiative, Sonakshi commented, “I have known Aanand Mahendroo uncle since I was a child. He is close to my parents. Their family is devoted selflessly to the cause of eye donation in Haryana for many years. Mahindru Foundation has done a lot to provide eye care for the poor.”

“I am proud and humbled to be associated with this cause. As stars, we get very busy with shoots but it is very satisfying to do our bit to help improve someone’s life. I am happy that Mahindru Foundation is taking this initiative pan India. I am totally with the cause and appeal to my fans and friends to pledge their eyes for this cause,” she added.

Mahendroo, director of Mahindru Foundation, said, “India has the largest population of blind or partially blind people in the world & ironically 80% of these cases are fully curable. Corneal blindness can be totally eradicated if more people come forward to donate their eyes. We are extremely excited to have Sonkashi Sinha as our Brand Ambassador. She is a noble soul. Shatru ji and Poonam ji are very philanthropic and that has rubbed on to their daughter Sonakshi, who is very socially responsible and aware. We appreciate her efforts to associate with this cause. We are certain that a popular star like Sonakshi supporting the cause will create more awareness about eye donation and encourage many people to come forward and pledge their eyes.’’

Through this association, Mahindru Foundation aims to create awareness on treating curable blindness in India and raising funds for the upcoming Eye Banks.
