‘’This is about breast cancer awareness. We need to talk about it, encourage women and men to to get regular check ups, help people fight it, support families who’s loved ones have been taken away by it! It’s plagued my family for decades and I dream of a cancer free world for our generations to come. Every 15 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. In one way or another, we’re all drawn together by this disease. The Estée Lauder Companies in partnership with renowned photographer @rohanshrestha has created an emotional and impactful #WhiteTSeries to inspire a digital wave of awareness and fundraising - to create a Breast Cancer free world,’’ Nitya wrote in her post.
A report in a leading daily suggested that Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone visited the new mommy. As soon as the ‘Gully Boy’ actor heard the good news he rushed to the hospital with his wife Deepika to meet the new parents.
