A Pinkwave swept through Lucknow on Sunday as the city came alive for a breast cancer awareness walkathon. Over 500 women painted the streets in shades of fuchsia and blush, marching from the 1090 Women Power Line intersection to Food Valley, weaving through Samta Mulak, and circling back. The sight was a vibrant sea of pink t-shirts, caps, and ribbons, with students, doctors, nurses, social workers, and residents coming together to champion the cause.
One of the showstoppers was a 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe, famously seen in the iconic film Gadar. Its owner, Keshav Mathur, shared the story behind the celebrity wheels: “I have joined the vintage rally with my 1939-make Chevrolet Master Deluxe car. My father gifted me this car on my 21st birthday. He bought it from the Raja of Salempur. People are stunned when they see these cars. This is the same car that was used by Amrish Puri during the shooting of the film Gadar. Another participant, HR professional Ritu Kapoor, added, “My group of friends and I joined this rally to show our support. We want to tell those battling cancer: don’t be afraid. Fight with courage—victory over this disease is possible.”
