In a world where fame often leads to comfort, two individuals chose a different path—one paved with purpose, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the underserved. This is the story of how Fateh Randhawa and Farha Naaz Jamal Hashmi transformed their lives to illuminate the paths of millions.
🎬 Farha Naaz: A Star’s Journey Beyond the Spotlight
Farha Naaz, a celebrated actress of the 1980s and 1990s, graced the silver screen with memorable performances in films like Love 86, Marte Dam Tak, and Baap Numbri Beta Dus Numbri. As the elder sister of acclaimed actress Tabu and niece of Shabana Azmi, Farha was part of a lineage deeply rooted in the arts .
Despite her success, Farha felt a calling beyond cinema. Witnessing the daily struggles of blind and visually challenged individuals in India, she envisioned a society where everyone, regardless of their abilities, could navigate the world with dignity and safety.
👟 Fateh Randhawa: Merging Innovation with Empathy
Fateh Randhawa, son of actor Vindu Dara Singh and Farha Naaz, inherited a legacy of performance but chose to channel his energies into entrepreneurship and social impact. As the founder of FRST Enterprises and FRST Solutions Safety, Fateh focused on creating practical safety gear, including rainwear and reflective clothing, aiming to make safety accessible and stylish .
His ventures were not just business endeavors but platforms to address real-world problems, particularly the vulnerabilities faced by the blind and visually challenged in everyday situations.
🤝 The Birth of FRST Foundation
In August 2024, combining Farha’s compassion and Fateh’s innovative drive, the mother-son duo established the FRST Foundation. Their mission was clear: to enhance the safety and visibility of blind and visually challenged individuals across India through practical solutions like reflective jackets and waterproof raincoats .
Operating from Mumbai, the foundation quickly became a beacon of hope, emphasizing that safety is a right, not a privilege.
