The crusader of innovative themes in cinema, Kamal Haasan is a dedicated artist that made him the most favorite star among the crowd. He works like a penance and proved his prowess with his multi-faceted talent. He visited the city accompanied Gauthami recently for an event organized by Ushalakshmi Breast Cancer Foundation, a charitable organization on Women’s Day.

Answering to the question posed by media in the following meet, as what he felt when he was beside Gauthami during her cancer days, he said, ”I was deeply bereaved and felt hard to digest the pain (keeping his hand across his heart). Although I didn’t weep, my eyes were soaked with tears and Gauthami is the woman who stood by my side through thick and thin after my mother. I closely witnessed her fight the dreaded cancer and it made me want to create an awareness to the world on this ailment.”

For the question, was it true that Gauthami’s treatment days were recorded? Kamal said, “Yes, we did it as per her wish. The motive is to create peerless awareness against fighting cancer and she did it for a social cause but not for any other benefit. I have studied a lot of patients’ characters on screen and prepared scripts to enact related to them. But, in reality I have realized the effects of cancer now. I would advice everyone to get first hand information and not rely on regular films that are made with a commercial motif.”
