Sherlyn Chopra Launches NGO 'Prakasham' to Empower the Underprivileged
Sherlyn Chopra, the celebrated actress and philanthropist, has launched Prakasham, an NGO focused on uplifting the underprivileged by providing them with resources and opportunities for a better future. Through this initiative, she aims to create a lasting impact on those in need.

Renowned actress, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Sherlyn Chopra has embarked on a noble mission with the launch of her NGO Prakasham, dedicated to the welfare and upliftment of the underprivileged. The NGO is aimed at providing support, resources, and opportunities to those who lack basic necessities like education, healthcare, and a chance for a dignified life.
Sherlyn’s childhood dream of becoming a doctor was driven not only by the influence of her late father, a medical professional, but also by her deep interest in science. An exceptional student, she excelled in academics and extracurricular activities, gaining admiration from both teachers and peers. However, her life took a different path when she won the title of Miss Andhra at the age of seventeen, which led her into the world of glamour and entertainment.
Although Sherlyn’s career veered away from medicine, the core values that initially attracted her to the field—empathy, compassion, and a desire to help others—remained with her. These qualities have now found a new outlet in Prakasham, where she has created a platform to uplift the less fortunate. Through this initiative, Sherlyn aims to offer essential support to those deprived of education, healthcare, and opportunities, helping them build a better future.
The NGO’s official website, Prakasham Foundation, serves as a portal for both those seeking assistance and individuals who want to contribute to its cause. Through Prakasham, Sherlyn hopes to provide a beacon of hope, ensuring that no dream remains unfulfilled due to a lack of opportunity.
Alongside her philanthropic efforts, Sherlyn continues to thrive in her professional career. She is set to star in an upcoming web series produced by Ekta Kapoor, further expanding her influence in the entertainment industry. Sherlyn is also exploring music, viewing it as a powerful means of personal expression. She believes that music allows her to amplify her thoughts, creativity, and advocacy for women’s rights and feminism.
In Sherlyn’s words, “Prakasham is a movement of hope, dignity, and empowerment. I have always believed that true success is measured by the impact we create in the lives of others. Through Prakasham, I strive to be a source of light for those who need it the most, ensuring that no dream remains unfulfilled due to lack of opportunity.”
