Madhuri Dixit lends support to Star India’s initiative to help Uttarakhand flood victims

The Indian Independence Day should hold more significance to Indians than merely flag hoisting and singing national songs. This day will be all the more meaningful if we undertake a pro-active step to make a positive difference to our fellow Indians.

The exquisitely beautiful Madhuri Dixit has decided to lend her support to Star India’s initiative – Saath Hai Hum Uttarakhand- to help the orphaned children who have lost their parents in the Uttarakhand catastrophe.

Being a mother herself, this super star was deeply moved by the plight of these kids. In collaboration with Star India and Hindi Film Industry’s initiative she is trying her best to make these children smile again.

She is lending her support to Star India’s initiative Saath Hai Hum Uttarakhand, a seven-hour marathon fund-raiser to be held on 15 August 2013. When she heard of this altruistic initiative, she immediately agreed to be a part of it.

Apart from her, others supporting the initiative include Indian cinema’s idols Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Anil Kapoor, AR Rahman, Boman Irani, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Pritam, Prasoon Joshi, Mukesh Bhatt, Ayushmann Khurana and celebrities from top television shows of the Star network such as Diya Aur Baati Hum, Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara, Saraswatichandra, Savdhaan India, Devon Ke Dev Mahadev and India’s Dancing Superstars among others.

Star India’s fund-raiser will be a seven-hour marathon event scheduled on Independence Day which is the first such endeavour by the entertainment industry to assuage the plight of people impacted by the floods. The event will be aired on all key channels of Star India network including flagship Star Plus, Life OK, Star Utsav, Star Pravah and Channel V.

Madhuri is also seen as one of the judges in Colors’ Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 6.
