Stars’ homes raided by tax officials

BOLLYWOOD actor Arjun Kapoor is accustomed to being photographed with his fans, but he was the one who asked for a picture when he met Nobel Peace Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai, both pictured, at an event in New York.

“The first and only time I remember asking someone for a picture. She gives humanity hope for a better future @MalalaFund #Malala,” Arjun posted on his Twitter page. Malala and Arjun came face-toface at the Global Citizen Festival.

They posed together and exchanged smiles.

Arjun was proud to be there as the International Champion for Global Goals and India Ambassador for the Global Citizen Festival, while Yousafzai, the 18-year-old Pakistani shot in the head by a Tehreek-e-Taliban gunman when she was 14, delivered a powerful speech.

Various world leaders met at the UN with a view to adopting the Global Goals – 17 targets to end poverty, inequality and injustice, tackle climate change and campaign for a better world by 2030.
