Director and actor Angeline Malik has launched a jewellery brand called Angelines, which is dedicated to redefining beauty stands after also revealing that she has been diagnosed with cancer.

As she undergoes chemotherapy, Malik also decided to shave her head in solidarity with other women battling cancer.

According to a statement from the Mere Humsafar actor, her jewellery line aims to celebrate resilience and stand with women facing chemotherapy, helping them embrace confidence and strength.

Malik wants to inspire women to see their beauty beyond societal norms through a commitment to empowerment and her designs. She also hopes to inspire a shift in perception, where beauty is not defined by hair or physical appearance, but by inner strength.

“I want to use my personal struggle and journey against cancer as a platform to challenge traditional notions of beauty. Shaving my head and sharing this experience is a symbol of 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.”

Through the jewellery, which consists mainly of hand-made copper pieces, the actor depicts the chains and shackles that many women are tied down by, representing courage, strength and sacrifices.

“These chains, rather than symbolising burdens, should be worn as ornaments of pride, embodying the essence of the powerful woman you are,” Malik said.

Actors Saba Hamid and Samina Ahmed wore Malik’s new jewellery in a picture posted to Hamid’s Instagram account. “With my wonderful brave friends,” Hamid captioned the photograph.
