Director and actor Angeline Malik has started a jewellery brand called Angelines after revealing that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. To show support for other women battling cancer, she decided to shave her head.

 

Angeline has said in a statement that her jewellery line aims to celebrate resilience and support for women facing chemotherapy. She wants to help them feel confident and strong.

Through her designs, Malik hopes to inspire women to see their beauty beyond societal norms. She wants to change the idea that beauty is about hair or physical appearance. Instead, she believes beauty is about inner strength.

 

"I want to use my struggle and journey against cancer as a platform to challenge traditional notions of beauty. Shaving my head and sharing this experience symbolises my strength and the strength of every woman facing chemotherapy," Malik said.

 

"It is a celebration of the beauty beyond our hair, beyond our outer appearance, and a movement to empower women to embrace their resilience. For too long, beauty has been tied to external appearances. I want to celebrate the inner strength and dignity of women who face unimaginable battles. Sharing my battle against cancer is my way of standing in solidarity with them, proving that beauty is about confidence, courage, and the stories we carry."

 

Malik's jewellery mostly consists of handmade copper pieces. The designs show the chains and shackles that many women are tied down by, representing courage, strength, and sacrifices.

 

"These chains, rather than symbolizing burdens, should be worn as ornaments of pride, embodying the essence of the powerful woman you are," Malik wrote.
