Now that Shilpa Shetty’s philanthropic organisation—the Shilpa Shetty Foundation aimed at helping terminally ill patients, is finally in full swing after its formation nearly two years ago, the actress says she will no longer be associating with any other NGO or charitable trust in future. Shilpa had been closely working with Parmeshwar Godrej’s Heroes Project that saw the likes of Richard Gere to visit India to promote safe sex and supporting many other causes.
“I have been associated with the Heroes project and done a lot of work on Aids. Recently, I have adopted 6 villages for the NDTV campaign. I have contributed to many charities before, but from now I will work for my own foundation,” Shilpa told After Hrs.
Shilpa also revealed to us that she is taking up two new causes to provide support for through her organisation. “The Shilpa Shetty Foundation will mainly work in two areas —’let there be light’ where we will be lighting up villages (across India). The second area will be helping the needy and supporting the girl child,” she says.
The svelte actress’ work for the needy doesn’t stop here as Shilpa, who will be making an appearance in her good friend Salman Khan’s TV game show, will give away all the cash she earns on it to her foundation to fund the needy. In future too, whatever she can make through such appearances in other game shows on TV channels, will get directly transferred to her charity. “I have started my own foundation in my name and whatever I win will go to the Shilpa Shetty Foundation,” she asserts.
