As brand ambassador, she will be involved in raising awareness and taking part in initiatives related to the issue.


The actress- TV anchor recently said she was impressed by the benefits of stem cell therapy and wanted to promote the cause. “ Parents take various steps to ensure a safe and secure future of their child. One small but very significant step towards securing the health of your child is by storing the stem cells of your new- born,” Mandira said in a press statement recently. <p> True to her mission, she has preserved the stem cells of her baby at the time of birth.


Mandira, who became popular in the nineties playing the title role of India’s first daily soap Shanti , became a household name when she took to anchoring pre and post- match cricket shows on television.


Her noodlestrap blouses heralded a whole new fashion statement on television, with many critics jocularly referring to the sartorial statement as ‘ blouseless straps’. Kaushal, who made a few of unsuccessful forays into Bollywood by way of Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, Shaadi Ka Laddoo and Anthony Kaun Hai, is said to be working on a new project.
