A symbol of unity”—that’s how Alia Bhatt views the Hope Gala. On March 28, the actor-producer hosted her maiden charity gala in a heritage hotel in London to lend her support to the Salaam Bombay Foundation. Since 2019, she has been associated with the not-for-profit organisation that works with underprivileged adolescents, who are at risk of dropping out of secondary schools, encouraging them to continue their education. When it came to hosting her maiden fundraiser, Bhatt knew she wanted to do her bit for the country’s youth. They are, after all, the face of tomorrow.
Talking to mid-day hours after the event, she said, “Over the past few years, I’ve been moved by the Salaam Bombay Foundation’s transformative work. Their commitment towards ensuring that the children from Mumbai’s slums not only complete their education, but also acquire valuable skills for future employment is commendable. So when the opportunity arose to host my inaugural gala, I knew I wanted to contribute to their impactful mission.”
