Acclaimed actress Elnaaz Norouzi brought her signature grace and screen presence to the runway as the showstopper for Maheka Mirpuri’s 13th Annual Charity Gala, Move for Cancer Awareness, held at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Mumbai. The evening celebrated the fusion of art, fashion, and compassion, raising funds for cancer treatment at the Tata Memorial Hospital.

For Elnaaz, this appearance was more than a walk down the ramp, it was a moment to stand for something larger than herself.

“As an actor, I’ve always believed that storytelling goes beyond the screen,” Elnaaz shares. “It’s about inspiring change, evoking emotion, and giving back in whatever way we can. This gala beautifully embodies that spirit, using creativity to make a real difference. I support cancer awareness because it’s something so unpredictable, it reminds me how fragile life can be, and that fear pushes me to help in any way I can.”

Known for her powerful performances across Indian and international cinema, Elnaaz continues to carve her path as one of the most promising global talents. She will next be seen in the much-awaited Mastiii 4 and the international thriller Hotel Tehran, alongside Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson.

“Fashion, like film, is about expression,” Elnaaz adds. “And when that expression carries purpose, it becomes truly powerful.”
