Amruta Fadnavis, a banker and wife of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, today called the kids fighting cancer as "real heros" and said the deadly disease can be conquered by spreading awareness.
Amruta, along with Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, spent time with dozens of kids suffering with cancer along with their parents at a programme convened at the historic Mumbai CST building, a UNESCO World Heritage site which houses headquarters of Central Railway and several offices.
The event was organised by Access Life, an NGO working for cancer-stricken kids, to create awareness about the ailment as part of International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Addressing the gathering, Amruta said, "Actually, these kids who are fighting with this dreadful disease are our real heroes and we must salute them".
She appealed to the people and the media to spread awareness about the disease and its prevention.
Amruta and Dhawan also interacted with the kids.
Dhawan lauded the children for showing immense courage and applauded their parents as well as Access Life for providing support to them.
