Lara jhooms with cancer children


This was a wonderful event with a cause, so to speak. Lara Dutta took time off from her busy schedule on Saturday morning , and decided to mingle with cancer-afflicted children in Mumbai. A special screening of her latest movie was held for 250 children and as the special invitation read, the kids had a 'Ticket to meet Lara Dutta'.
And, it certainly was a double bonus for the children who were most excited to watch the movie, that too with Lara sitting amidst them. Ticket to Hollywood? Nah, a direct ticket to spend a morning with Lara Dutta! After the screening, the actress spent some quality time interacting with the children. She merrily chatted with them, clicked pictures with them, signed autographs for them and once the music began playing, she even danced with them! A bouquet of flowers, a small Ganesha idol, a card that read 'Thank you Lara for jhooming with us', and of course, the wide smiles on the faces of the children summed up how they felt.
