Hansika is involved in philanthropic activities. She provides monetary support for the education of 25 underprivileged children and also takes care of the medical needs of 10 women affected with breast cancer. She is the brand Ambassador of 'Chennai turns Pink', an awareness program to promote breast cancer awareness among urban women. However, her acting career has taken a slight set back with none of her recent films doing well at the box office. She is currently acting in a women centric film Maha where STR plays an extended cameo role. It was rumoured that she might be playing the lead in a popular textile owner’s debut film. Now Hansika has clarified that the news is not true. Her official statement reads as follows:

Hereby, I would like to affirm that anything involving my new projects would be officially announced by the respective production houses and my spokespersons. Thank You...”
