Tamannaah Seeks Help For Cancer Patient

Actress Tamannaah Bhatia went live to garner donations for an ailing widowed-mother, Devika, who is fighting a battle against multiple myeloma, just to live for her only two sons.

Devika who is Tamannaah’s colleague, associate producer, dialogue co-writer, and dubbing supervisor for the Bahubali franchise, was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2018. This was the same year she lost her husband to kidney and cardiac failure. While she was forced to battle all these challenges and her disease, she made sure she turned into both mother and father for her children.

A family that had lost all their life-savings to medical treatments and a bread-earner, Devika took it on herself and made ends meet for her sons. As survival turned tough, she experienced an aggressive relapse and is seeking an advanced treatment which is Car-T cell therapy and is only available in China and a few select countries.

Having worked with Devika and knowing her personally, this became a cause that turned personal for the South Indian and Bollywood actress – Tamannaah Bhatia. She then united with Tring, India’s largest celebrity engagement platform, and called for donations through its Icons for Change Initiative to support Devika’s cause.

‘Icons for Change’ is an instrumental platform that is held dear by celebrities and helps them support and raises funds for a cause close to them. As a grateful gesture for the donations that come in for this cause, Tamannaah will be conducting live video calls and Personalised Recorded Video Messages for the donors. The entire remuneration generated from these video chats and messages, on Tring, will be contributed towards Devika’s treatment.

Tring has extended its support to Devika to help her come back home to her family with a healthy and happy gift of life. For this, they have associated with Ketto.org, India’s most trusted crowdfunding platform. Ketto.org and tring are hosting a zero platform fee fundraiser and not charging any commission or mark-up fees on the donations.

“Tamannaah and I had a great working relationship. She is as dedicated to her work as she is to the causes she supports,” adds Devika. Tamannaah and Tring, want to make sure Devika reunites with her children. Donate now and help her in this fight against cancer!
