Actress Trisha Krishnan is one of the select few heroines who have sustained in the industry as a top heroine for more than 15 years. She is currently  busy with multiple projects in Tamil in which she either plays the female lead or solo lead.

The ever charming actress has now achieved an unique international honour. She has been conferred the UNICEF Celebrity advocate status. This will enable Trisha to  voice the rights of children including adolescents and young people and lend support to efforts for addressing anaemia, child marriage, child labour and child abuse, faced by millions of children, especially in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

United Nations International Children's Fund (UNICEF) is a United Nations program headquartered in New York city. It provides humanitarian and development assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.  

Announcing this at a special function to mark the World Children’s Day, Mr. Job Zachariah, Chief of UNICEF office Tamil Nadu & Kerala said, “Trisha is an icon for the adolescents and the young people. She has the power to amplify the children’s issues and address the violation of child rights in the family, community and in public spaces. She will also promote education and health of adolescents and the value of girl child in family and society.”

Trisha is the first film actress from South India to receive the recognition by UNICEF.

Speaking at the occasion, Trisha said, “I feel honoured with this recognition. I commit myself to create more awareness on health, education, nutrition and protection of children, especially the adolescents and young people in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. I would support the efforts of government to make Tamil nadu malnutrition-free and open defecation free.”

Trisha has acted in 64 films including 38 in Tamil, 23 in Telugu and one each in Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam. She has 43 lakh followers in the twitter. Over the years Trisha has won many awards including the  South Film fare best actress award four times and Tamil Nadu State Special Jury Award for Best Actress for her performance in 'Abhiyum Naanum'.

IndiaGlitz congratulates Trisha for this rare achievement and we wish her best to make a great change in the lives of children and adolescents as the Celebrity advocate UNICEF.
