Bollywood actress and cancer survivor Sonali Bendre Behl attended the recently held CFBP Consumer Film Festival and supported the cause of cancer awareness, a cause which has been very dear to her. Those who attended the event include Sonali Bendre, Shekhar Bajaj, Justice B.N. Srikrishna, Swapnil Kothari, Ridham Desai, Padma Shri Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, Dr. Mickey Mehta (Global leading holistic health guru), and Shaina NC (a politician and fashion designer). Smt. Rajashree Birla and Anand Mahindra supported the festival this year, which was chaired by Kiren Srivastav.
Sonali Bendre Behl said, "It was my honour to be here today. In whatever capacity I can, I will always be there to help and support the cause of cancer survivors. I love the fact that the proceeds from this show go towards helping cancer patients who otherwise wouldn’t be able to get the right treatment. Thank you, Shaina NC, for being such a committed advocate for cancer patients and for leading such events."
The CFBP Consumer Film Festival event, held in Mumbai, was a colourful tableau of competitions held in various activities such as Short Film Competition, Poster/Painting, Competition and Slogan Writing Contest on interesting topics like women's empowerment, Mera Haq My Rights, 75 Years of Independence, Fair Business Practices and Cybercrime Awareness and much more. The competition itself has grown enormously in popularity with 800 entries pouring in from across the country that consisted of students (school and college) and professionals.
