Actor Vivek Oberoi recently turned emotional while highlighting the plight of cancer patients during his appearance at the Cancer Patients Aid Association’s Cancer Rose Day 2026. The actor, who has long been a champion for underprivileged patients, credited his mother for inspiring his philanthropic journey. Recalling her legacy, he shared how she spent years visiting terminally ill patients, cooking for them, and offering emotional support, proving that love is one of the most valuable gifts one can provide.
The highlight of the event was Oberoi’s heartwarming update on Sahara Shah, whom he adopted when she was just two years old. Reflecting on her brave battle with cancer, the actor recalled seeing the toddler undergo grueling chemotherapy treatments. He shared that even during those dark days, he knew she was a fighter. Today, Sahara is cancer-free and gearing up for her big Bollywood debut. An overwhelmed Oberoi admitted he was “crying with pride” seeing her transition from a brave survivor to an aspiring actress, noting that her success is a direct result of her immense hard work.
Beyond sharing his personal story, the actor issued a passionate appeal to the public, urging everyone to step up for the cause. He emphasized that supporting cancer patients should not be restricted to celebrities or those with deep pockets. He encouraged people from all walks of life to visit hospitals and donate their time, love, and resources to those in need, noting that a little compassion goes a long way in a patient’s recovery journey.
On the professional front, Vivek Oberoi is currently preparing for his next major project. The actor is set to appear in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s highly anticipated film Spirit, which features Prabhas in the lead role.
