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

Sherlyn Chopra launches Prakasham NGO



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

Neelima Sharma Crowned by Malaika Arora as Winner of Narifirst Beauty Pageant season2 in Goa

Neelima Sharma Crowned Narifirst Beauty Pageant season2 winner

In a dazzling celebration of strength, grace, and empowerment, Neelima Sharma was crowned the winner of the Narifirst Beauty Pageant Season 2, held in Goa. The crown was presented to her by none other than Bollywood diva Malaika Arora, adding glamour to a night filled with inspiration and elegance. The grand event was choreographed by ace choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, whose direction brought energy and finesse to the stage.

 

Hailing from the vibrant state of Punjab and currently residing in Bangalore for the past 14 years, Neelima is much more than a beauty queen. She is a proud mother of two beautiful children, a loving wife, and a woman of substance whose journey is rooted in dedication and compassion.

 

Neelima holds a degree in science and a post-graduate degree in Business Administration. After beginning her career at Lovely Professional University (LPU), she chose to devote herself to family life, becoming a full-time homemaker. Yet, her passion for service led her to join the Neonates Foundation of India, where she works as a volunteer helping fund NICU treatments for critically ill newborns from underserved communities. Till date, she has contributed to saving over 120 precious lives.

 

Her pageant journey began with a simple desire for new experiences, as she entered Season 1 of Jewel of India by Narifirst. But her return for Season 2 came with a mission—to prove that dreams have no expiration date.

 

“I want to tell every woman out there: no matter your age or profession, you can become whatever you dream of,” Neelima shared with a radiant smile after her crowning moment.

 

As she now sets her sights on a career in modeling and aims to become a source of inspiration for women across the country, Neelima Sharma’s victory is a celebration of perseverance, purpose, and power.

 

Her story is a shining example that with the right blend of heart and courage, one can rise to any occasion—wearing the crown not just on the head, but in spirit too.
