Celebs to rock for a cause HT Correspondent
Delhiites will get an opportunity to see live shows of some of their favourite singers and actors over the next couple of weekends. The stars of course won't just be singing and dancing on the stage but would be sending across social messages on poverty and disability through the concerts. The first on the concert list is AR Rahman. He has been roped for a poverty concert this weekend. Rahman will perform in Old Delhi on Saturday for a host of Asian and NGOs that hope to raise money to fight poverty. Rahman, goodwill ambassador for the STOP TB partnership for the WHO, will be joined on stage by popular Pakistani pop band Junoon's lead guitarist Salman Ahmed. On September 17, Shahrukh Khan will lead an ensemble of Hindi film stars to spread the message for the national campaign for a barrier free India. Javed Abidi, who has been fighting for the rights of the disabled, said, the campaign was launched in Delhi on August 15 by the chief minister. We are trying to take it forward. Our main issue is that of access. That means, buildings should be changed as to make them disabled friendly. Through the concert and through film stars, we would be trying to send the message across. "We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the nation." -John F. Kennedy ------------------------ Yahoo!
