Harshvardhan Rane supports racial cause

The actor took part in an event organised by an NGO and lent his support to the campaign against racism.

Harshvardhan Rane was seen at the Dark is Beautiful campaign in Hyderabad on Saturday evening. The event was organised by an NGO and their headquarters are in Chennai, but to launch the campaign in Hyderabad yesterday they invited Harshvardhan as the celebrity guest.

Harshvardhan who believes in the campaign said, “Don’t look at a person, look into the person. Heart is the hero not the colour. I don’t stand against or for any colour, I just believe in endorsing the idea of not endorsing any colour.

“Women of Worth are a Chennai based NGO, and now I have launched in Hyderabad. Harshvardhan Rane came to support the campaign. It’s about the toxic belief of measuring the worth of a person with a colour. We called the campaign Beauty beyond Colour. We had stories about people who faced discrimination on colour and most of them are school and college students. They narrated their experiences at the event. Nandita Das has supported us in the past. Harshvardhan came and spoke about how his father taught him that everyone is equal and same and how he believes in the campaign. It was very nice of him to come and encourage the youth,” said Kavita Emmanuel, director of the NGO.
