In an independent India, there are still villages where prostitution is family occupation. Young girls get pimped by their own brothers and fathers and the very home that they should find solace in becomes a brothel!

This shocking find was brought to light by young dynamic director Ashok Nanda whose film Rivaaz had a music launch at Raheja Classique Club yesterday.

Hema Malini presided over the event and said that she is happy "an NRI took so much time and energy to bring this issue to light. " Talking about how she was affected by the issue of Ek Chadar Maili Si where brother-in-laws who consider their bhabhis as their mother marry them on their brother's death, she spoke about how more makers needed to come out to tackle such issues.

Deepti Naval said that the research and findings of Ashok Nanda shocked her into accepting the film. Meghna Naidu looked pretty devoid of greasepaint, more or less her look in the film.

New find Ritisha was excited by her debut, while Manoj Bidwai talked of how he would rehabilitated one such woman if given a chance.

Sufi singer Mudasir Ali, Narendra Singh, Abhinav Gautam, Raj Inder Raj, Arshad Siddiqui, Subhan Aziz, Rituparna Sengupta, Nisha Roy, Tia Bajpai, Sandeep Jain, Vishal Desai, Ashwini Chopra, and a host of others graced the event.

Ashok Nanda preferred to let his work do the talking, and hence must have been the only maker who let the slick trailer do the talking.

The seriousness of the issue and the dedication of the maker made this a grand success. And fo course, the hand of the master chef who ensured a sumptuous fare post-event.
