Pakistani actress Meera is spearheading a campaign in Pakistan to raise money for the victims of the earthquake that is now being described as the biggest natural calamity in the nation’s history.
With more than 20,000 people having perished in the devastating quake in Pak, it is film personalities who are now taking the lead to help raise money for the relief work.
Meera, who has already become a known face in Bollywood because of her films Nazar and Kasak , has announced a personal contribution of Rs 5 lakh. She is also starting a fund raising campaign in which she and Pakistani film personalities and other artists would ride in an open truck and urge people to contribute.
Meera also held a press conference at the Lahore Press Club where she said that Indian film stars Sanjay Dutt , Rani Mukherjee and Bipasha Basu had telephoned her and expressed their condolences.
Meera is also quoted by The Daily Times as saying that actor Sanjay Dutt has expressed interest in a combined show of Indian and Pakistani stars in Pakistan for raising funds for the quake victims.
