Urvashi Sharma becomes Santa Claus!

Urvashi Sharma visited the children at the Brain Tumour Foundation this Christmas. And as you can imagine, this Santa brought a sleigh-full of joy to the kids. She spread the sweet spirit of Christmas by gifting the kids with their favourite thing – chocolates!

“Children love chocolates,” Urvashi smiles, “And as you can guess, everyone here was very happy to see the chocolates. I’m just happy that I could do something for them.”

Urvashi had planned to surprise the children as Santa, but she didn’t expect that the children would surprise her, too! They had prepared some special gifts for her. Says Urvashi, holding up the gifts, “There are calendars and paintings here, which the kids painted themselves. And in each painting there is an emotion. There’s a hope that people will buy these paintings and raise funds that will help these kids. I love the sense of hope that’s there in these paintings.”

As Urvashi has become a part of a social cause, this Christmas is surely going to be one that she remembers. She has an important message to give, “I’d like to ask God to give me courage like these children have, so that when there are difficulties and problems in my life, I can handle them with strength and courage like these kids do.”

Urvashi’s little sister accompanied her to celebrate Christmas with the children. The only one missing was her model sister, Sucheta Sharma. Hope even she can visit the children next Christmas.
