KBC News - It's all for a good cause, say Preity and Rani |
Rani and Preity are happy to win on KBC for their respective causes. It's 8 AM and two of Bollywood's most beautiful actresses, are busy getting ready in their respective trailer vans for the KBC shoot that is scheduled to begin soon. Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherji have been invited to share the stage with their close friend and colleague, Shah Rukh Khan, for the Holi Special. Rani says she has had no time to prepare but still wants to win big as all the money she earns from the episode will be donated to a cause close to her heart. "I just had a little niece some months back and she is my life. And she was born at Holy Family Hospital and one of the doctors their told me that there are a lot of babies – premature and otherwise- who are born with heart problems. But sadly the hospital doesn't have a ward to treat them. Therefore I plan to donate all my winnings here to build this special ward at Holy Family Hospital." Preity has equally charitable plans up her sleeve too. She says she plans to win every penny available on the show for the Red Cross Himachal. "Everything I earn today I want to give to the Red Cross Himachal. Everyone has heard of the Red Cross but this is their division in Himachal which needs funds," says the actress who has lately been involved in numerous social causes. Looking nervous at the start of the episode, the duo surely and steadily moved up the winning ladder. At the end of play each of them was happy with the amount each of them would be donating. "I am very happy. Preity and I had an opportunity to come and play with Shah Rukh which in itself was brilliant. We had so much fun. And more importantly we both will be able to give a decent sum of money to both our causes. What else can we ask for?" Touch! Thursday, March 1, 2007 |
