Emraan Hashmi’s son started his speech saying, “Yesterday was my birthday, surprisingly today is cancer day. I think it is a coincidence. So my first day I was doing this was at Tata Memorial Hospital event. That was pretty good too. But I think this one is going to be a little bit better because I am going to say something about cancer. Cancer is horrible, it hurts you in every way, mentally and physically but after I survived cancer, my whole life has changed. I was strong, I was a fearless leader. For (fighting) cancer, you need to have a few qualities and that everyone over here has. You need to be strong. Everyone is strong over here. Fearless and fighter.” Watch the video: (ALSO READ: World Cancer Day: Sonali Bendre Shares An Empowering Video Message; Talks About Switching On The Sunshine)
