Speaking about the new project, Sidharth Malhotra said that he is humbled to be a part of such an initiative where they get to provide food to the children in need. He also revealed that cancer in children is generally curable but the problem arises due to malnutrition. 40% of the children affected by cancer are malnourished, which takes the survival rate down.

In a video released by Sidharth Malhotra on social media, he has spoken about the initiative while also shedding some light on why such an initiative is necessary. He has revealed through the post that 8 out of 10 malnourished children lose the fight to cancer hence calling it an issue that needs attention.
