Urmila, Parineeti To Walk for Girl Empowerment
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,February 18 2013]
Bollywood and Brit glamour go head to head on Saturday 23rd February as IndiaÂs top fashion designer, Manish Malhotra showcases his first collection in the UK. The stars are set to gather at a gala charity fundraiser in aid of The Angeli Foundation, a charity that works to empower the Girl Child in India.
Hottest buzz is that Bollywood darling Parineeti Chopra will be jetting in to support her close friend and Âwalk the ramp along with Rangeela star Urmila Matondkar! Rumour has it that Malhotra has couple of other Bollywood guests up his sleeve... we wait with baited breath!
Amongst the stars lending their support to The Angeli Foundation will be legendary star Meera Syal, Adil Ray now better known as Citizen Khan; Holby City and Casualty stars LailaRouass, Sunetra Sarkerand Hari Dhillon; Coronation StreetÂs Jimi Harkishin; former Eastenders Ace Bhatti and ShivaniGhai; BBC TV presenters Anita Rani and Sonali Shah; BBC radio presenters AnushkaArora, Sunny & Shay; Radio 1ÂsNihal, and Kiss FMÂs DJ Neev.
The Angeli Foundation works to ÂSave the Girl Child and redress the balance for women who are treated as second-class citizens throughout their lives. From female foeticide to limiting healthcare and education in favour of male siblings, to bride burnings, unreported rapes and acid attacks, inequality in India exists from womb to woman.
