Important to create awareness on relevant social issues: Anupam Kher

Veteran actor Anupam Kher has stressed on creating awareness on socially relevant causes.

The 63-year-old, who has been invited as the chief guest and speaker at the Cancer Patients Aid Association on the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, said it is extremely important to reach out to people.

"It is important to reach out to people and create awareness on socially relevant causes. In my career across 34 years, I have supported various campaigns. It is our responsibility to our country and to the world. This is not about just being anti-tobacco, it is about being Pro-Life," he said.

At the event, the 'A Wednesday' star would hand over voice prosthesis to cancer patients and will also felicitate the transgender patients who have given up tobacco.
