I’m thankful and I’m sure she is humbled that her efforts have been recognised by the foundation that believes in helping the needy and supporting the deprived and raising funds for those who are impoverished.” The 35-year-old actor received an invitation by the Harmony Foundation for lending her support and contribution towards social causes.
