For one afternoon, Tiger Shroff wasn’t the fierce fighter from Baaghi 4, but the smiling superhero from A Flying Jatt, back after eight years — cape or no cape — to spread joy among children bravely battling cancer.The Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) marked National Cancer Rose Day 2025 with a celebration of love, hope, and healing at Shree Manav Seva Sangh, Sion Banquet, Mumbai.Bollywood star Tiger Shroff was the highlight of the event, presenting roses, dancing, and clicking pictures with young cancer warriors, filling the hall with cheer. Addressing the children, he shared a simple mantra for good health. “Eat on time, sleep on time, and play or dance for exercise. If you follow these three things, you will see big changes in your body. For me, you are the real superheroes,” he said, earning wide smiles from the audience.Singer Neha Bhasin and choreographer Geeta Kapur also joined the celebrations, while renowned choreographer Feroz Khan led the Happy Feet dance workshop, giving children moments of joy and confidence. Over 100 patients and their families participated in the celebration, which also included the distribution of roses and gifts to symbolize care, love, and the spirit of life beyond cancer.Anita Peter, Executive Director of CPAA, said, “Through Rose Day, CPAA aims to spread the message that even a simple gesture can show how much you care. The presence of Tiger Shroff, Neha Bhasin, and Geeta Kapur made this year’s celebration even more special for our children.”For over five decades, CPAA has been providing holistic support to underprivileged cancer patients — from free medication, prostheses, and ambulance services to nutritional aid, investigations, and emotional care — helping them battle the disease with dignity and hope.
