Pink Power Run paints Hyderabad in hope and health
MUMBAI: Hyderabad turned a rosy shade of resolve as the Pink Power Run 2025 swept through People’s Plaza, where thousands laced up not just for fitness but for the fight against breast cancer.
From Hindi cinema charm to global glamour, the line-up sparkled. Former Mr India and health ambassador Darasing Khurana hosted with gusto, joined by Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chuangsri, tennis ace Leander Paes and philanthropist Sudha Reddy. Together, they lent star power to a life-saving cause.
This year’s theme, stride and shine, captured the spirit perfectly. Families, fitness buffs and first-timers alike took to the track, sending a united message that early detection saves lives.
Khurana, long active in health advocacy, told the cheering crowd, “Every step we take today is a stride towards saving lives.” For him, the run was a natural extension of his work as an ambassador for Datri, India’s blood stem cell registry.
Chuangsri, accompanied by Miss World chairperson Julia Morley, praised the run as “a shining example of how community action can drive meaningful change,” highlighting her Beauty with a purpose mission on women’s health.
Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among Indian women. Experts stress that awareness and screenings dramatically improve survival rates, and Pink Power Run 2025 made that message impossible to miss.
In the end, it was more than a race. It was a rallying cry, a community statement, and proof that when people stride together, they shine brighter.
