This is what the actress wrote in her post: “Today is International Childhood Cancer Day @riteishd and myself visited Tata Memorial Hospital to meet the kids..These children are fighting life-threatening diseases and when a child is unwell it’s not just the child but the entire family that is broken and in distress..But there is a cure and the doctors and the staff at Tata hospitals and most hospitals are working tirelessly to bring an end to this disease..If you can help spread awareness or help in any way that makes childhood cancer a distance dream, it would truly help.. We did our bit with @impacctfoundation .. Try and do yours and help a child live his/her future❤️❤️❤️”
