Sonakshi Sinha auctions her artwork, to raise money for breast cancer patients. Read more.

Did you know that apart from being one of the most successful actresses in Bollywood, Sonakshi Sinha is an artist as well? And a really good one at that?

Neither did we, until Sonakshi decided to auction her paintings to raise money for breast cancer patients on May 8 2016, as reported by Hindustan Times.

The auction was the first time that the actress was displaying her work publicly, and she made the decision to do so since the proceeds of the auction would go to breast cancer patients.

I have been painting for a while now, and I am still attached to the paintings. I had been contemplating what I should do next with them for a while now. So, when I was asked to donate something for a cause like breast cancer, I thought, ‘Why not my painting?’ It feels great when you can use your talent to make a difference. I feel like my art has found its purpose.
