New Delhi: Bollywood actor Taha Shah Badussha, who won a million hearts with his performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, recently was in the capital and walked the ramp for ace fashion designer duo Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna. The fashion event ‘Festival of Hope’ was organised to raise funds for protecting over 1,000 young lives by vaccinating children against cervical cancer.
The show saw a mix of celebs from fashion and philanthropy, underlining how art and glamour can drive social change. Taha turned showstopper for the designer duo wearing their exquisite collection. Speaking about being part of the initiative, Taha said: “Walking the ramp is always exciting, but walking for a cause like this makes it deeply meaningful. Cervical cancer is preventable, and yet it continues to affect so many lives. If my presence here can help raise awareness and ensure that even one more child is protected through vaccination, I consider it a privilege. Every step we take today is a step towards saving young futures.”
