Ameesha Patel attends fundraiser organised by the wife of India's Vice President

Ameesha Patel was in Delhi as guest of honour for the fundraiser for the Vice President of India Shri M Hamid Ansari's wife Mrs Salma Ansari.

The event was for the L'noor Foundation based in Aligarh which is a NGO founded by Mrs Ansari for below poverty line (BPL) children.

When she started out, 200 children were registered with the NGO whereas now more than 2000 are. Everything from their school fees to food, is taken care of.

Huge task

The actress says, "Mrs Ansari is an alumnus of Aligarh University. Once when went horse riding a few years ago in the interiors of Aligarh, she devastated by the poverty she saw there.

It's been a huge task for her to raise funds for their upliftment so when she asked me I had to go. I advocate education. The proceeds of the event went to her foundation."

Mrs Ansari, the fan

Ameesha adds that Mrs Ansari paid her several compliments. "She's a very warm and lovely lady and told me that she's a great fan of mine. She said she found me educated and intelligent and loved the kind of roles I do.

I have promised to help her with her work. I love to do something for the underprivileged and recently went for the Sunday marathon award for the Aseema Foundation in Juhu."
