December 14, 2010 (Showbiz PR Wire): Who couldve thought that the simple kid coming from a middle class background of two university professors as parents, spotted daily at a hotel lobby once, struggling to make his livelihood by making portraits and paintings, would one day be the highest bidder of an art auction for a cause.
The buzz is that recently at an art auction event by Sanjan Nagar held to educate under privileged girls in acquiring advanced education, Ali Zafar was present too.
During the auction where the who and who of the society were present , Ali started bidding for a painting, in tough competition with a gentleman, but didnt seem to give up until he bought the painting apparently for almost a million. Source says that when zafar heard about the cause of the auction which was to support higher education of girls coming from ordinary back grounds, Zafar, who is already known to be associated with various charity work didnt think twice about attending the event and ended up sponsoring higher education of 40 girls. These girls whose parents being poor couldnt afford their education, are now going to be studying sciences like neurology, medical and even strive to be an astronauts. On making an attempt to approach Zafar for his comments, his pr person responded that Zafar didnt want to take any credit as he thinks it was his duty like every other individuals whose been granted the means and power to give to his society.
