When contacted, Sonakshi confirmed the news, and said, “I have been painting for a while now, and I am still attached to them (her artwork). I had been contemplating what I should do next [with the paintings] 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.”
