As a child, Sherlyn Chopra harboured dreams of becoming a doctor, not just because her late father was a medical professional but because she was captivated by the intricacies of science. A novel student, she was good at both academics and extracurricular activities, earning admiration from her teachers and peers alike. However, fate had other plans. When she won the title of Miss Andhra at just seventeen, Sherlyn Chopra found herself at a crossroads. The dazzling world of glamour beckoned, and she chose to carve out a path in show business.
Though she pivoted from her initial aspiration of medicine, what once drew her to the field, her empathy, compassion, and innate desire to help others, remained. Recognising the need for an avenue to channel these emotions, she founded Prakasham, a humanitarian initiative committed to empowering the less fortunate. Through Prakasham, Sherlyn Chopra seeks to uplift those deprived of necessities, education, and healthcare, offering them a chance at a dignified life. The NGO’s official website, https://prakasham.foundation, serves as a portal for those who wish to contribute or benefit from its initiatives.
Talking about her NGO, Sherlyn Chopra said, ”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.”
On the professional front, Sherlyn Chopra is gearing up for a web series produced by Ekta Kapoor. Meanwhile, she is also exploring the realm of music singles. A firm believer in the power of music as a form of expression, Sherlyn Chopra sees it as an extension of her identity!
