Shah Rukh, Aishwarya for Doha charity event
Bollywood megastars Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan have been lined up for the 'Reach Out To Asia' inaugural charity event taking place in Doha on November 16.
Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, dubbed the 'Queen of Bollywood' and the Indian heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan are lending their support to this important charity initiative recently launched in Qatar to support the underprivileged across Asia.
The megastars will be part of the star-studded 'Reach Out To Asia' launch event being attended by personalities from the world of sport, show business, politics and Royalty at the Ritz Carlton hotel. The event is the biggest of its kind ever held in Qatar and, for the first time, will feature 'red carpet' celebrity arrivals often associated with movie premieres, said a press release yesterday.
Shah Rukh Khan has earned the reputation of being one of the most versatile actors in India with his powerful performances across all types of films – from comedy to emotional drama. His performances have grabbed the headlines and have earned him accolades across India with his own unique style wooing cinema audiences in the subcontinent and around the world.
Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan recently hailed Shah Rukh Khan as the country's best actor. Bollywood is the centre of India's movie business churning out more than 800 films a year, mainly from Mumbai.
Qatar Foundation, Qatar Airways and the Doha Asian Games Organising Committee (DAGOC) are spearheading the 'Reach Out To Asia' fund-raising campaign under the auspices of HE Sheikha Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, daughter of the Emir HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
The November 16 event will also include a live charity auction of items donated by sports and showbiz celebrities. The auction will be conducted by a senior representative from the London auction house Sotheby's.
Sheikha Mayassa said: "We are extremely honoured to have two of India's biggest movie stars on the night which promises to be an evening to remember.
"Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan are known for their compassion and help towards charitable events and it is indeed a wonderful opportunity to see them grace the red carpet in Doha in just two weeks' time," she added.
