HDFC Life, India’s leading long term private life insurance solutions provider, has extended its association with Hindi Film ‘Hawaa Hawaai,’ by sponsoring the education of the 4 children featured in the movie, who come from financially challenged backgrounds.
The makers are proud of this partnership as the boys are precious and have developed to become great actors. They have been with Amole for many years, and he has looked after them and nurtured their talents.
Announcing this sponsorship, Mr. Sanjay Tripathy, Senior Executive Vice President and Head, Marketing, Products, Digital & E-Commerce, HDFC Life said, "As a brand, we have always propagated ‘Independence and Self respect’ or ‘Sar Utha Ke Jiyo,’ as a way of life.

We, in association with Aseema Charitable Trust, a Mumbai based NGO working for the rights of underprivileged children, are sponsoring the school education of the 4 financially challenged children featured in the movie."
