Television
reality show, Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, recently welcomed
star guest Mika Singh and Shaan. The singers who will be making their
acting debuts in their upcoming comedy-caper Balwinder Singh Famous Ho
Gaya were moved deeply after seeing some of the performances in the
show.
Both
Mika and Shaan who attended the show to promote their movie were
brimming with emotions after seeing some groundbreaking performances by
the contestants. The singers were so impressed that they gifted an
amount of 2,07,000 to the contestants.
When
questioned about his surprising gesture, Shaan said, “It was Mika’s
initiative actually. He decided to gift the contestants and I also got
inspired. I was particularly impressed by this sand artiste Hariharan
(he drew Sachin Tendulkar’s life story in four sketches) and the girls
who performed a skipping act through fire. They were the prime
contenders but they couldn’t make it to the next round and this was our
way of encouraging them.”
Mika
who is one of the successful singers in Bollywood also runs an NGO –
Divine Touch, which takes care of girl child. The singer was questioned
about his interest in charity and his NGO, he said, “For the last 15
years, I have been doing some social work but four years ago I decided
to start a NGO to help girls who are poor, cannot afford education or
have problems during marriage. I contribute 10 per cent of my earnings
to the organization. When I went on the sets of EKLKBK I had not planned
to donate money, but I was so impressed with the performances that on
the spot I decided to gift money to encourage them.”
