Prakasham is a movement of hope, dignity, and empowerment, says Sherlyn Chopra

Sherlyn Chopra Launches NGO ‘Prakasham’ to Uplift the Underprivileged

A Vision of Compassion and Change

Renowned actress, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Sherlyn Chopra has embarked on a noble mission with the launch of her NGO ‘Prakasham’, dedicated to the welfare and upliftment of the underprivileged. Prakasham aims to provide support, resources, and opportunities for a brighter future.

As a child, Sherlyn Chopra harboured dreams of becoming a doctor—not merely because her late father was a medical professional, but because she was captivated by the intricacies of science. An exceptional student, she excelled in both academics and extracurricular activities, earning admiration from her teachers and peers alike. However, fate had other plans. When she won the title of Miss Andhra at just seventeen, Sherlyn found herself at a crossroads. The dazzling world of glamour beckoned, and she chose to carve out a path in show business.

Though she pivoted from her initial aspiration of medicine, the qualities that once drew her to the field—her empathy, compassion, and innate desire to help others—remained steadfast. Recognising the need for an avenue to channel these emotions, she founded Prakasham, a humanitarian initiative committed to empowering the less fortunate. Through Prakasham, Sherlyn seeks to uplift those deprived of necessities, education, and healthcare, offering them a chance at a dignified life. The NGO’s official website, https://prakasham.foundation, serves as a portal for those who wish to contribute or benefit from its initiatives.

On the professional front, Sherlyn is set to star in an upcoming web series produced by Ekta Kapoor, further expanding her dynamic presence in the entertainment industry. Alongside her work in feature films, short films, and digital content, she is also exploring the realm of music singles. A firm believer in the power of music as a form of expression, Sherlyn sees it as an extension of her identity—an avenue where she can amplify her thoughts, creativity, and advocacy for feminism.

”Prakasham is a movement of hope, dignity, and empowerment. I have always believed that true success is measured by the impact we create in the lives of others. Through Prakasham, I strive to be a source of light for those who need it the most, ensuring that no dream remains unfulfilled due to lack of opportunity” adds Sherlyn Chopra
