The actors also shared her feeling for being part of this visit as she met with the Afghan refugees for the first time, “I’m very honoured to be a part of this cause”. She added further, “If we come together and try to collectively try to help the situation, however, and whatever little way we can, we are only making the future of this world better.”

“If this imperative issue is being highlighted better, if people are being much more aware if I’m present, then I’d love to contribute. More than half of the refugees are children. This is a huge thing because children are our future”.
