Sushmita Sen's Painting Auctioned For Rs. 25 Lakhs
By Network on September 27,2006
Sushmita's painting titled
Ibaadat was auctioned for Rs 25 lakh and the proceeds have gone to the hospital.
"I paint, but for myself and sometimes for my friends. I have never taken it up
as a profession.
This is the
first time that I put up my paintings for an auction, to raise money for
charity. I'm glad it's gone for a very noble cause," says Sush, who's just
returned from Dubai where she had gone to do a telethon for Imran Khan's
hospital.
"I wish I could go
to Pakistan to raise funds. But never mind, I was overwhelmed by the response I
got from the telethon. For the first time, I felt India and Pakistan have no
boundaries. It goes to show that death and disease have no nationality."
Former captain of Pakistan,
Imran Khan managed to charm the beauty. "What a man! Imran and I bonded so well,
that we are very good friends today. When you meet him, you instantly like
him."
