A Flair for Care

Two of Mumbai’s powerhouse designers,Shaina NC and Manish Malhotra,presented a star-studded fashion show in aid of The Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA). The sixth annual Caring with Style show was held at Hotel Intercontinental,The Lalit,on June 19. The show,presented by the Association,along with Pidilite industries,saw many famous faces on and off the ramp. Sashaying on the catwalk were actresses Vidya Malvade,Divya Dutta,Tisca Chopra,Riya Sen and Shweta Kawatra,as well as Ronit Roy,Sameer Dattani,Bikram Saluja and Vivek Oberoi — who is also CPAA’s brand ambassador. Among the guests were Nita Ambani and Praful Patel,along with Kajol,who looked like she was wearing a creation by her friend Malhotra.

Since this was an event to support children suffering from cancer,we wonder if it was necessary for it to be publicised as also being a tribute to achievers from various fields,especially as the achievers included Riya Sen and Sheetal Mafatlal. Just the cancer support stance,would have been enough.
