Karan Johar and Maheka Mirpuri Raise Over Rs 4 Crores for Cancer Patients at Charity Gala

In October 2025, filmmaker Karan Johar joined fashion designer Maheka Mirpuri to host the 13th Annual Charity Gala for the Move for Cancer Awareness (M-Can) Foundation. The event, held at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai, brought together the city's leading figures to support a worthy cause.

The gala successfully raised over Rs 4.28 crores, with the proceeds going to Tata Memorial Hospital to help underprivileged patients access cancer treatment. Maheka Mirpuri has been raising funds for cancer care through the MCAN Foundation for the past 12 years, and this year's event continued that important work.

Karan Johar, who has been collaborating with Maheka for the third year in a row, expressed his personal connection to the cause, saying, "This event is deeply personal to me. I understand the emotional and physical challenges patients and their families face. The impact of the funds raised here will change lives, and I urge everyone to support such initiatives and give hope to those who need it most."

Maheka Mirpuri reflected on the success of the gala, stating, "We are grateful to Karan Johar and everyone standing with us in support of the MCAN Foundation. Raising over Rs 4 crores this year means we can help countless underprivileged patients access vital treatment. I remain deeply committed to this cause, and none of this would be possible without the generosity of our supporters and friends."
