Bollywood actresses walk on the ramp to collect funds for Salman's charity
Mumbai: The top eight actresses from the film industry walked the ramp for Salman Khan's 'Being Human' show at India Couture Week in Mumbai. Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu Karisma Kapoor,
Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee and Sushmita Sen dazzled the floor on Saturday to collect funds for the charity, which works for the underprivileged children. The theme for the show was "Fashion through the ages", so the actresses
sported outfits from different eras. They were decked up in Manish Malhotra's
creations and diamond jewellery by Forevermark. Actor Saif Ali Khan, industrialist
Sanjay Kapur and veteran actress Helen were also present on the occasion. Saif
Ali Khan seemed excited about the idea of mixing glamour with social cause. "I
do not think it is about the competition. Like we said it is a great charity tonight,
I think it is wonderful that everyone showed up and did this gesture from their
side, so it is great and a yes for the charity Being Human," said Saif Ali Khan.
Bipasha Basu, who sported a 1950s style dress, seemed excited about the whole
idea of being a part of the charity show. "Salman is doing a fantastic work for
the underprivileged children. We are all here to support that and actually had
a lot of fun because the sequence created was fabulous and I think the stylist
Anaita Shroff did a fabulous job and also Alvira did the show very well and revisiting
1950s was fun for me," said Basu. Actress Priyanka Chopra enjoyed the theme of
the show and appreciated the noble cause 'Being Human' does for the
underprivileged children. "An organization being human is basically for humanity and
nobody would say no for such a good cause. Anybody who believes in giving would
do something like that," said Chopra. Salman Khan's show 'Being Human' was a part
of the fourth day of India Couture Week being held in Mumbai. The NGO 'Being
Human' raises funds by selling T-shirts, watches and other accessories along with
Salman Khan's original paintings.
Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar promoted his upcoming Bollywood
flick 'Action Replayy' in Mumbai. Kumar played his favourite songs from the 1970s
at the retro-music-and-dance night event, as a part of the promotional campaign.
"This was the action replay, it takes you towards 1970s. It takes you toward back
music. Like today you have the songs, it was action replay, but it was replay of the
music," said Kumar. 'Action Replayy' is a science fiction romantic-comedy film.
Produced and directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the movie stars Aishwarya Rai,
Neha Dhupia, Randhir Kapoor, Om Puri, Kirron Kher and Rajpal Yadav, besides
Akshay Kumar. It has been scripted by Suresh Nair, Aatish Kapadia and Bahawal
and Pritam Chakraborty has composed the music of the film. "The word 'Action
Replayy' comes from cricket, that if you want to live your life again then what all
things you would do or would not do, so in this there is no action. This is an
interesting concept and a romantic comedy," said Vipul Amrutlal Shah. "There is a
different and interesting kind
of a humour in the movie, in which we have seen the style of Akshay Kumar in the
recent times. In this movie Akshay has created a new style for performing in a
certain manner and I think that should be interesting for people," he added. The
film is slated for release on November 5.
