Mumbai, Aug 3 (NationPress) Renowned actor Govind Namdev has taken part in the short film "Fragile", which seeks to raise awareness about Fragile X Syndrome.

Discussing the film, Govind explained that it was producer Rajniesh Duggall and the important cause that motivated him to participate.

He stated, “When Rajniesh Duggall reached out to me regarding the film’s focus on a social issue, I inquired, ‘What is the social cause?’ He informed me that it centers around a hereditary condition known as Fragile X Syndrome, which is passed from parents to children. This syndrome adversely affects brain development, leading to various challenges that hinder a child’s overall growth. Children affected by this condition often struggle to interact socially, as their brain function is compromised.”

Govind emphasized that many are unaware of this disease and its societal implications. He believes the film's mission is to educate the public on how to support affected individuals compassionately and effectively.

“Currently, there is no cure. Rajniesh Duggall expressed his intention to create this short film to shed light on issues that remain largely unknown. I promptly agreed, stating, ‘If you’re making a film for a social cause, I’m on board. Call me anytime, and I’ll be there.’ I inherently feel a strong sense of social responsibility,” he remarked.

Excited about his involvement in such a significant project, Govind mentioned, “I believe this film will have a meaningful impact and fulfill its intended purpose. Films of this nature—be they short films, medium-length features, or full-length movies—should certainly be produced to address social issues.”

He further posited that such films must convey a powerful message, resonate with audiences, awaken social consciousness, and provide insights into managing these kinds of illnesses.
