“If you Google cleft surgery, you’ll understand the depth and body of work Smile Train alone has put into this awareness. It is a correctable surgery. And I am so proud to be the new ambassador leading this along with a wonderful team of Smile Train India and Global. In India, over 35,000 children are born with a cleft in a year. And this can be treated if they have the information. The organisation has tied up with many hospitals over the years. I hope to keep this machinery working as it has been with immaculate efficiency and power. There are great many issues to be solved on many humanitarian levels. This is one. And when we all do our bits and our parts, the world is a better place,” Fazal said.
On the work front, Ali Fazal has just completed the shoot of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s magnum opus, Milan Talkies.
