Ali Fazal who just completed the shoot of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s magnum opus, Milan Talkies, has taken on a new role. Ali Fazal has just been announced as the goodwill ambassador of Smile Train, an organisation that helps children with cleft lips get their smiles back through surgery. The charity has found a sustainable solution with cleft reconstructive surgeries helping thousands of children across India. The Victoria and Abdul actor has been given the responsibility and role of being the ambassador along with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who continues to work with the company on a global scale.
Ali inaugurated the new project by the charity at the SRCC Hospital in Mumbai where he met lots of children with cleft lips whose lives will be transformed after this reconstructive surgery. “If you Google cleft surgery, you’ll understand the depth and body of work Smile Train has put into creating awareness. It is a correctable surgery. And I am proud to be the new ambassador leading this along with a wonderful team of Smile Train India and Global,” said Ali.
In addition to this, the actor who is a sports buff helped young kids from Shillong and Lucknow learn more tricks in football and got them ready for the games. He also coaches and plays basketball with children near his house whenever he isn’t shooting.
