Singer Vee Kapoor, who is known for soulful devotional songs like ‘Giridhari’ and ‘Saavaro’ which have been released by prominent music labels like Times Music, has come forward to support a cause championed by his designer Saran Kohli . A while back, Saran started suffering from Vitiligo, a skin based disease that compelled him to come up with an awareness campaign to spread awareness about it. He thought of designing a series of masks that would reflect what people, who suffer from this condition, go through.

Talking about the same, he says toPrittle Prattle News by sharing a press release, “As artists, we have a certain responsibility towards society. I have the means to reach out to those who like my music and follow my work. I thought of using that reach to support my friend’s initiative and make more people aware of this condition and the discrimination in which people suffer from this go through. I was happy to wear the mask, endorse it, and put a statement out there, along with many wonderful people who stepped forward to support this initiative. I have always been proud of my friend Saran’s achievements. He has made the country proud with his incredible work as a designer, and I am so glad to see him taking this initiative now.”

The mask is a dual or multi-colored one and aims to educate people about Vitiligo and how people ought to be more sensitive about those who suffer from it.

The society, including the entertainment industry, needs to be more sensitive about this. There are also some incredibly insensitive who mock people suffering from skin diseases.

“I am sure this campaign will make people think and bring about a positive change in society. Wearing these masks is a very creative way to spread awareness about it. I am delighted to be a part of it”, Vee Kapoor states to Prittle Prattle News by sharing a press release.

Vikas Kapoor, whose screen name is Vee Kapoor, also has posted a couple of pictures with him wearing the mask to show solidarity with the movement. Since the last year, Vee, who is based in London, has been very active as a singer, and apart from releasing singles under labels of international repute, he has been doing cover versions of popular Bollywood numbers and uploading them on his YouTube channel. He has recorded a bunch of songs during the lockdown on the work front, which will release one after another soon. One of his upcoming projects include a single which he has collaborated with renowned lyricist href=”https://twitter.com/prashantingole1?lang=en”>Prashant Ingole (‘Purani Jeans,’ ‘Mary Kom’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani‘)
