B-town’s charming bala Shriya Saran recently opened a spa in Mumbai for the visually challenged, where they will be offered treatments like reflexology and massages that are programmed to give them great comfort.

If sources are to be believed, the actress has joined hands with an NGO for the cause. “It is a longtime wish of Shriya to do some service to the society. And she found this spa idea quite interesting and innovative,” they maintain.

And Shriya too was quoted saying, “When I studied in Delhi, we used to visit a blind school quite often. My experiences there left a deep impact on me, so much so that I chose to open a spa to lend a hand to visually challenged people in Mumbai.”

On the professional front, the ‘Awaarapan’ famed beauty is quite active on south shores with several projects keeping her on toes. One can see Shriya in Deepa Mehta’s forthcoming English venture ‘Midnight's Children’, which stars Seema Biswas, Shabana Azmi, Nandita Das, Soha Ali Khan and Irrfan Khan.
