Ranbir’s ramp walk for a cause!

Ranbir Kapoor, the Goodwill Ambassador of Mijwan Welfare Society with Shabana Azmi and Namrata Goyal at its helm will be the showstopper for the 9th Annual Fashion show ‘The Walk of Mijwan’ by Manish Malhotra.

It marks the long journey of nine years since the fashion designer and MWS joined hands; a journey which has brought in a sea change in the lives of the women involved in the craft of chikankari.

Ranbir, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming Sanjay Dutt biopic, returns to the Mijwan stage after a gap of four years, his busy schedule and commitments had kept him away. Speaking about his association Ranbir Kapoor says, “We, the young people of India, need to turn our attention towards rural India and focus on empowering the girl child. My sister, Riddhima, and I were raised as equals and I want every girl and boy to be treated equally. To my young friends, I say, ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.You can do it and your time starts now’.”

Talking about Mijwan and her connect with the organisation, veteran actor Shabana Azmi says, “In the nine years since the first Mijwan fashion show, I have received unstinted support from my film fraternity. Every one from Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan to Ranveer Singh and Sidharth Malhotra and Priyanka Chopra to Shradhdha Kapoor have walked for us.”
