Agra Struggling for life,
acid attack survivor
Bala has found a new hope as star actor
Deepika Padukone has extended a helping hand to save her life.
The acid attack survivor, who is suffering from a life-threatening kidney ailment, urgently needs a kidney transplant to survive. After the word reached Deepika, she donated a generous amount of Rs 15 lakh to the 'Save Bala' campaign.
Bala is a real-life star who was also featured in the Deepika Padukone-starrer movie '
Chhapaak
', directed by
Meghna Gulzar. Her condition is deteriorating every day due to the failure of both her kidneys and she's somehow surviving on dialysis. Being an acid attack survivor, her weakened immunity is already a threat to her life.
Bala still requires further monetary help to come out of this tragedy and hence an NGO is seeking as much support as possible. The fundraising campaign called 'Save Bala' has been started on a crowdfunding platform.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Deepika is one of the busiest actors we have in
Bollywood
with some very interesting projects in her kitty. She has Shakun Batra’s untitled next film where she will be seen sharing the screen space with Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi in lead roles.
She will also be seen pairing up with Prabhas and Hrithik Roshan for the first time on screen. While her Prabhas starrer will be helmed by Nag Ashwin, the Hrithik starrer is titled, ‘Fighter’ being directed by Siddharth Anand.
The actress has also announced the official Hindi adaptation of ‘The Intern’ with Rishi Kapoor. Owing to the untimely demise of the veteran actor, the film will be shot with Amitabh Bachchan stepping into his shoes. Deepika and Big B have earlier worked in ‘Piku’ together.
Apart from these, Deepika is also awaiting the release of Kabir Khan’s ‘’83’ co-starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role. She is also a part of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film, ‘Pathan’ which also stars John Abraham in the lead role.
