The actress stated that she was very happy to donate her hair to cancer patients. “Like ‘vidyadaan’ (gift of education) and ‘kanyadaan’ (giving away one’s daughter to the son-in-law), ‘keshdaan’ (hair donation) is also important,” she said in her statement.
The actress added: “I have seen many of my friends and relatives being affected by cancer. The patients lose their hair after undergoing chemotherapy. That is very painful to watch. God has blessed us with good health and good hair, so I am donating.”
After actress Rishika Raj inaugurated the programme and donated her hair, as many as 70 donors have come forward to donate their hair to cancer patients.
