Mana Shetty will organise a annual charity exhibition in the Capital

After bringing a beeline of socialites and celebrities to Chennai and Hyderabad last year,Mana Shetty,wife of Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty,will get her annual charity exhibition,titled Araaish,to the Capital. In its 11th edition,the display will comprise Seema Khan’s collection of kurtis and salwars,Neha Agrawal’s line of stone-studded bags,Natasha Nanda’s range of customised art for corporates and office stationery and designer wear from Tarun Tahiliani’s Ensemble. The expected guests include Mumbai celebrities like actresses Neelam Kothari and Twinkle Khanna and fashion designers Surily Goel,Tarun Tahiliani,Seema Khan,Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna. The proceeds from the sales will be used for supporting the special kids trust and girl child programmes managed by the NGO,Save the Child Foundation. “We wanted to spread the wings of the charity gala since we have been able to create a brand for ourselves,and try and benefit the various initiatives of the NGO,” says Shetty,who runs the NGO with her siblings Rahul Kadri and Isha Mehra and will organise the Delhi event with friend Sharmila Khanna. She adds,“The idea is to offer a line of creations that is not easily available in Delhi.”

The event will take place on September 1,at The Grand,Vasant Kunj,11 am to 9 pm
