Salman organises celebrity cricket match and fashion show for Being Human


Salman KhanWhatever Salman does, he does it with style, class and panache. The face of 'Being Human' foundation, that he has been promoting quite voraciously, he has gone a step further and brought India and Pakistan on the same platform, so beautifully and for a worthy cause. It takes a Salman to do that. For the Being Human Foundation's event that is being organised in Dubai, in pursuit to take the cause across the border, something rather special is in store. The event would start with a charity cricket match, Celebrity 2010, organised by Cynosure that will see two teams comprising of Bollywood celebs and Pakistani A-listers. The match would be followed by a fashion show in the evening, organised to showcase the collection of his charitable trust. Right from watches, to T shirts and paintings will be showcased. Though Sallu bhai was expected to present the entire collection, he is now showing only exclusive products and to a selected audience. Reason being, he fears that the designs of his Being Human T shirts will be copied and sold on the streets of Mumbai. It's upsetting for the actor as he raises funds for the needy from this charitable cause. The known faces who will be walking the ramp along side the Pakistani counterparts are Arbaaz, Sohail, Sharman Joshi, Aftab Shivdasani, Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffrey, Dino Morea, Sonu Sood, Riya Sen, Neetu Chandra and music composers Sajid and Wajid along with filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar. From Pakistan, the faces that would be part of the event are cricketer Shoaib Akhtar, singer Atif Aslam and actor Himayaun Saeed. Salman would be reaching out to his fans by explaining the cause behind the foundation and how their support can help the foundation meet its goals. We, at Bollywood Hungama, wish Salman all the very best in his endeavour.
