Charu Malik

Charu Malik has had to live with a genetic disorder for more than half her life. Even with assisted breathing for the last 10 years and confined to the bed for more, she thinks of herself as blessed for being able to use her eyes and the power of her voice to help others.

She established a trust called the ‘Angelic Light of Kindness’ in memory of her late son Alok, which helps orphaned children and elderly persons who need medical and financial aid.

Charu considers her husband of over 40 years, Sunil, as her pillar of strength and encouragement, while he thinks of their love as having weathered innumerable storms and triumphed over adversity time and time again.
