Actress Sanjana Sanghi, who had her acting debut in 2020's Dil Bechara, is currently making the public fall in love with her unique sense of style. In her feature film debut, she performed an excellent job playing cancer survivor Kizie Basu. The 26-year-old actress recently made a splash for Varun Bahl, one of the most well-known names in the fashion industry. Festival of Hope, an occasion, was planned to support the spread of cancer awareness in India. Sanjana talked candidly about her reasons for wanting to be a part of the admirable project.

Sanjana described how she met cancer survivors while working on the Sushant Singh Rajput co-starring film Dil Bechara.She also said, “With my debut film Dil Bechara, I had this incredible opportunity to get into my character Kizie Basu’s mind, who was a young cancer survivor. I, as part of my preparations, spent a lot of time with cancer survivors. What I understood is that none of us can really understand what they go through. But what we can do is empathise and make their journey easier. I want to tell them that we are always there to look after them. I want them to always remain strong because we are always by their side.”

She adds, “I got associated with this event as I want to help with the aim of creating a Cancer Free world. Playing Kizie Basu in Dil Bechara allowed me to spend extended time with cancer survivors and try to understand their psyche and state of mind. And we hope this helps raise the largest amount of funds for the treatment of survivors belonging to underprivileged groups.”

Sanjana appeared on the runway wearing a mind-blowingly gorgeous costume. She wore a modern silhouette made using ancient methods. With a multi-patchwork embroidered bralette top, she accessorised and enhanced an upcycled multi-patchwork asymmetric skirt from Couturier Varun Bahl's New Leaf Collection.

Sanjana described the stunning asymmetrical skirt and crop top she was wearing as being from Varun Bahl's latest New Leaf collection. Since the entire skirt is constructed from recycled materials, it is a sustainable item. Since sustainable fashion is good for the environment as well as the environment, we support both cancer survivors and sustainable fashion at the same time.

With his collection, designer Varun Bahl discussed the reason for the event's association. He said, “I’m very happy to have partnered with Festival of Hope this year for their wonderful initiative, in support of Cancer Survivors. Ever since I started my couture label, I’ve always tried to find different ways of giving back, and that’s always been the main reason why I continue to do what we do. I have always been associated with the Festival of Hope and what better way to contribute to their amazing cause than with fashion.”

Shalini Vig, the founder of the Foundation of Hope, spoke about the motivation behind the event's planning.  She said, "There are heroes amongst us, fighting a daily battle – Cancer. All they do is hold onto hope. And this is how we do it. Celebrate the spirit and courage of cancer warriors. I appreciate the contribution of Varun & Archana to this initiative to give it a wider aspect."

The Festival of Hope foundation honours the bravery and spirit of cancer survivors. The Festival of Hope has transformed the world of charity via the distinctive medium of fashion and design. Each year, the Fashion Walks, in which well-known Indian designers take part, are held along with numerous programmes to raise awareness of cancer. The audience needed to be convinced that there is life after cancer, and that was the event's main goal. Events sponsored by the Festival of Hope Foundation are organised to honour cancer survivors and the spirit needed to beat the disease.
