New Delhi, July 11 (IANS) Actress-anchor Tara Sharma Saluja, who spoke at length to Emraan Hashmi on his experience during his son's cancer treatment phase and how it made him stronger and a better person, says her chat show is an attempt to try and help anyone who may be facing tough times.

I had read Emraans book The Kiss Of Life cover to cover before our chat and Emraan was very touched that I had as I asked many questions based on what I had read.
The reason to do an episode like this is not just to share touching stories but also to perhaps try and help anyone in our audience who may God forbid be going through similar tough times and hearing these stories could help them and make them know they are not alone and can and will get through victorious, Tara said in a statement.
