Actor Soha Ali Khan and her mother/veteran actress Sharmila Tagore will auction personal items from their closet for charity. The two will come together for a virtual charity event to mark Mother's Day. Purpose of the auction is to raise funds for animal welfare as well as for environmental conservation.
Speaking in an interview, Soha said, “The past year has made me value my loved ones and sharpened my perspective about what's important in life. Even though we are home-bound, we can all find ways to contribute. Clearing our closets is a concrete way to help raise funds. Our bit for environmental conservation. Proceeds from the sale will go to the (Pataudi Trust) and World For All – an NGO whose work for animal welfare through the pandemic has been admirable.”
Sharmila said, “Apart from proceeds generating funds for charities, when people buy pre-loved pieces over newly manufactured ones, it is beneficial for the environment. Our combined pieces would save about 8,46,527.92 litres of water and 2,070.68 kg of carbon.” Both of them will auction off personal pieces, including cocktail dresses, pashminas, Armanis, and t-shirts.
