New Delhi: “Breast of Luck” is being organized in Gurugram in October to raise awareness about breast cancer. Tannishtha Chatterjee and Sharib Hashmi will also give a live performance at the Excelsior Auditorium.
The show will take place on October 11, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Excelsior Auditorium in Sector 43. The event will be attended by a large number of people. It is part of a national campaign to educate people about the steps they can take if they notice early signs of breast cancer.
October is celebrated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month, everyone is made aware about breast cancer.
2.3 lakh cases are reported every year
Statistics show that there are 2.3 lakh cases of breast cancer in India. One in 28 women faces this cancer at some point in their lives. Less than 30 percent of cases in India are detected in the early stages, when the chances of recovery are highest.
October Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated worldwide since 1985. Under this program, women are educated about breast cancer. Often, women are reluctant to discuss it openly. Keeping this in mind, the decision has been made to organize this event. It is hoped that it will send a positive message to the public.
According to reports, “Breast of Luck” was written by Tannishtha Chatterjee and Sharib Hashmi, who also star in the film. It was directed by Leena Yadav. The play is based on personal experiences and tells the story of two people battling cancer.

According to reports, Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das have supported the show. The music is by Manav Poddar, the lyrics are by Swanand Kirkire, and the choreography is by Ashley Lobo. The show has been houseful in Mumbai, Lucknow, Indore, Bhopal, and the India Habitat Centre in Delhi. Now, the show is set to take place in Gurugram.
The show is based on cancer Awareness
“Breast of Luck” brings together two of India’s most respected artists. This show is as much about cancer as it is about human connection.
