Darasing Khurana and Miss World 2025 Lead the Charge for Breast Cancer Awareness at Pink Power Run 2025

The Pink Power Run 2025 turned Hyderabad’s People’s Plaza into a wave of pink on Sunday morning, as thousands joined hands to raise awareness about breast cancer and the life-saving role of early detection. The event wasn’t just a marathon — it was a movement, blending fitness, festivity, and a strong health message under the theme “Stride and Shine.”

Star Power Meets Social Impact

The lineup of personalities ensured the event was more than just another run. Former Mr. India Darasing Khurana hosted the event with energy and charm, inspiring the crowd with his personal commitment to health causes. Alongside him was Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chuangsri, accompanied by Julia Morley, Chairperson of the Miss World Organization.

Also present were tennis legend Leander Paes and Hyderabad philanthropist Sudha Reddy, who lent their support to amplify the cause. Their presence highlighted how global icons, national leaders, and local citizens can come together for women’s health.

Darasing Khurana: From Pageant Winner to Health Advocate

Darasing Khurana, crowned Mister International India 2017, has gone beyond the world of fashion and acting. Known for his philanthropic work, he has been an ambassador for DATRI, India’s blood stem cell donor registry, where he consistently advocates for cancer patients. His role at the Pink Power Run extended that mission — this time focusing on breast cancer awareness.

“Every step we take today is a stride towards saving lives,” Khurana told the participants, reminding everyone that awareness is as important as action.

Miss World 2025’s Global Message

Miss World 2025, Opal Suchata Chuangsri, used the platform to highlight her Beauty With A Purpose mission. She praised the Pink Power Run as “a shining example of how community action can drive meaningful change.” Julia Morley reinforced the message, emphasizing that initiatives like these are vital in creating healthier futures for women across the globe.

Why This Matters: Breast Cancer in India

Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among Indian women. Doctors and NGOs repeatedly stress that early detection — through regular screenings and timely checkups — can save thousands of lives each year. Events like the Pink Power Run 2025 not only spread awareness but also normalize conversations around women’s health.

More Than a Run, A Movement

The Pink Power Run 2025 wasn’t just about covering kilometers. It was about covering ground in changing mindsets, encouraging screenings, and showing solidarity with those affected by breast cancer.

As Khurana summed it up perfectly:

“We run today not just for fitness, but for awareness, for strength, and for every woman who deserves a healthy tomorrow.”

The message was loud and clear — when a community runs together with purpose, real change begins.
