AnilÂs noble gesture
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 17 2009]
ÂSlumdog Millionaire has certainly created more interest amongst Indian film technicians and given birth to a new momentum for collaborative film projects. At the same time the film has been successful in putting a new spotlight on poor kids who are immensely talented.
This has set the ball rolling in many people coming forward to lend a helping hand to these little ones. Anil Kapoor too has joined the band wagon of people who sincerely want to make a difference in the society.
The veteran actor has donated the money that he got for working in ÂSlumdog Millioniare to a charitable organization called ÂPlan IndiaÂ. The organization works for providing a better life to the underprivileged children. The actorÂs own life story inspired him to donate the money.
The Bollywood star says ÂI can identify with the character of Jamal Malik of ÂSlumdog . It is almost the same thing because I started from a very simple background. Not slums exactly, but a 200 square metre cubicle with common bathroomsÂ.
We had already informed that two leading designers Ashima and Leena Singh revealed their plans for starting an institution called ÂJai Ho FoundationÂ. The designing duo has roped in the kid actors Azhar and Rubina to walk the ramp at the upcoming ÂWills India Fashion WeekÂ.
If the privileged decide to lend a helping hand to the underprivileged, then slowly but surely India will be rid of poverty. We hope this is just the beginning!
