Bollywood heartthrob Arjun Rampal was the focus of everybody's attention at a fundraiser organised in Karachi last evening to raise funds for the victims of the October 8th earthquake.

The evening managed to raise an impressive figure in ticket sales, donations and a small auction conducted by the charismatic Arjun Rampal, reported The News.

The evening proceeded with an auction conducted by Rampal. Initially mobbed by a crowd of fans, the model-turned-Bollywood-star's natural stage charm managed to bring great benefits to the evening.

An airline ticket from Karachi to London and back, contributed by local artiste Abdullah Kidwai, managed to be sold for a million rupees and an ensemble donated by Rohit Bal was also sold off to a generous bidder for the same price.

The fundraiser was organised by Pakistani non-profit, non-government organisation - Teachers Resource Centre (TRC), which has been holding such events along with the Indian film industry for the past three years.

TRC has been raising funds for its own cause, but this year all efforts were directed towards the earthquake. "It was the need of the hour," the paper quoted said Zeba Hussein, chairperson of the event, as saying.

The show was choreographed by Aparna Bhel and Tanya from India who also handles the annual Lakme India Fashion Week.
