Actor, producer and entrepreneur Alia Bhatt is all set to host her first Hope Gala in London. As per a source close to the actress’ team, Alia will host Hope Gala on March 28 in partnership with the Mandarin Oriental hotel group at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London. This is in support of Alia’s chosen charity Salaam Bombay which is focused on engaging Mumbai’s most vulnerable ‘at-risk’ children through in-school programmes (leadership and advocacy) and after-school academies (skill building) that help build their confidence, self-esteem and commit them to stay in school.
Reportedly, the Gala will be attended by prolific industrialists and philanthropists from India and London. Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia has recently completed shooting for Jigra, which also stars Vedang Raina.
