The original sex pot of yesteryear Sharmila Tagore has been very supportive of her actress daughter Soha Ali Khan. They have made many public appearances together, taken vacations together and will now run the marathon together for the actor Rahul Bose’s NGO named ‘Foundation’ for charity.
Sharmila Tagore, who is also UNICEF’s Goodwill ambassador has said, “Children are the future of India and as UNICEF’S Goodwill Ambassador. I have pledged to speak up for the cause of children whenever and wherever it is necessary. I am participating in this marathon to support HEAL, a project run by Rahul Bose’s NGO - the foundation, to raise awareness for sexually abused children. If this small effort in anyway alleviates the misery and stigma that these little children have to face, it will be worth my while”.
Rahul Bose on his part is of the view that the Mumbai marathon is the best community event after the recent 26/11 terror attacks.
He says, “This is the only occasion where differences visible in one’s daily life melts away and the entire city comes together in the spirit of oneness. The marathon is the event, where we need not to invest but should invest in it as it’s a great platform to see the different lifestyles thriving in the city come together for the support of different causes.”
