"I’m very honoured and very humbled."
Kareena Kapoor Khan has been appointed as a national ambassador for UNICEF India.
On May 4, 2024, the actress took to her Instagram profile to announce the news.
Kareena has worked with UNICEF India for over 10 years.
Posting a picture of herself in a UNICEF top, the star wrote:
“An emotional day for me. I am honoured to be appointed as UNICEF India National Ambassador.
“Working with @unicefindia over the past 10 years has been truly enriching and insightful.
“I am proud of the work that we have done and am reiterating my commitment to being a voice for promoting and protecting child rights and an equal future for all children.
“A special thank you to the entire team who have been tirelessly working for the rights of women and children across the country.
“I am inspired every day and am looking forward to our continued partnership.
“I am very happy to welcome Gauranshi, Kartik, Vinisha and Nahid to the UNICEF India family as our newest Youth Advocates.
“I would also like to congratulate UNICEF India and celebrate 75 years of the incredible impact they have had on the lives of children in India.
“I pledge to continue to be a voice #ForEveryChild.”
Kareena Kapoor added: “I’m very honoured and very humbled to take on this position.
“I’ve worked tirelessly and worked very hard with all my heart. And now, finally, I’m joining them as a national ambassador.
“But of course, with that comes a huge responsibility which I accept with all my heart to ensure that every child through the corners of India, however vulnerable, wherever he is, whoever she is.
“I must include when I say every single child, I do not specify gender, I do not want to, voice or no voice, abled or disabled.
“I specify every single child I will work towards to give them their fundamental right.
“Every child deserves a fair chance to life, the first five years of their life being their foundation.
“Every child deserves a childhood, the first five years, once again I repeat, being the most important and formative years.
“They deserve a right – a right to safety, a right to gender equality, a right to education, primary education, safe environments, health and nutrition.
“They basically deserve a fair chance at life itself.”
“And nurturing their confidence. Because confidence gives them the ability to dream, ability to fly, ability to have ideas, to innovate, which they need because children are, they are the future.
“They are the future of our nation. So to have that, we must build their confidence.
“So that is also a fundamental right, which we have to do.”
On the work front, Kareena Kapoor was last seen in Crew (2024).
She will next be seen in Singham Again.
