Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor is the Goodwill Ambassador of Mijwan Welfare Society. The MWS helmed by Shabana Azmi and Namrata Goyal will see Ranbir as the showstopper for the 9th Annual Fashion show The Walk of Mijwan by Manish Malhotra. At the event the designers Summer 2018 collection will be displayed.
Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone too will join Ranbir on the ramp.
This year marks 9 years long journey since Manish Malhotra and Mijwan Welfare Society joined hands. This collaboration has resulted in major change in the lives of the women involved in the Craft of chikankari.
Says Ranbir Kapoor,
“We, the young people of India, need to turn our attention towards rural India and focus on empowering the girl child. My sister Riddhima and I were raised as equals and I want every girl and boy to be treated equally. To my young friends, I say “Be the Change you wish to see in the world. You can do it and your time starts now”.
Shabana Azmi says,
“In the 9 years since the first Mijwan Fashion Show I have received unstinted support from my Film Fraternity. Everyone from Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan to Ranveer Singh and Sidharth Malhotra and from Priyanka Chopra to Shraddha Kapoor have walked for us.”
Last year, Sunita from Mijwan exclaimed:
“I couldn’t believe that Shahrukh Khan was wearing the shervani I had embroidered and that I was sharing the stage with him! I feel I’ve got wings and I can fly!”
Because of MWS efforts and Shabana Azmi’s intervention the infrastructural development in Mijwan matches up to that of bigger cities.
Late Kaifi Azmi founded Mijwan Welfare Society with the goal of making Mijwan a scalable and replicable model of development with a focus on the girl child and women. Earlier Mijwan didn’t exist on the map of India, but today it is known worldwide.
