Bollywood star Alia Bhatt recently attended the Hope Gala in London hosted by Salaam Bombay Foundation. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahan actor, who wore a saree, took over the stage to laud the community work carried out by the foundation.

At the event, Alia thanked the organisers and said, “Speaking of stars, Padmini (Sekhsaria), thank you for giving us the Salaam Bombay Foundation. No, genuinely, looking at your work, in the last couple of years that we have worked together, I don’t know how you do it so easily, and you make it all look so effortless and nonchalant. The way you and your team work is so inspiring and we, people like us, feel very small in front of the way you contribute to society. But if all of us make a small contribution, it will make a large impact, the way you made, I think we’ll all consider ourselves fortunate. Thank you so much.”
