Freida Pinto, one of India's most successful actors internationally, is all set to host her colleagues in Hollywood yet again at the Vanity Fair Pre-Oscar party on Feb 20 in LA (Feb 21 India Time) during the most attended Pre-Oscar weekend bashes. This will be the second time she will be hosting this event because of her special and committed connection to Girl Rising.

As a celebration of cinema at the Oscars, Vanity Fair magazine and Freida are looking forward to uniting the fraternity with the magic of the movies. The occasion is also a platform to build awareness and benefit the cause of Freida's non-profit production venture - Girl Rising - a movement centered on a film with stories of nine girls born into unforgiving circumstances.

With some heavyweights in Bollywood now attached to the Indian version of the film and cause as ambassadors, Freida, as co producer, is also working towards creating a movement that will effectively action change.

Called - DJ Night with Freida Pinto and Vanity Fair - the evening will feature a special performance by DJ Taryn Manning and Ms Nix. The funds raised from the event will be directed towards furthering the various initiatives under the Girl Rising campaign.

Talking about hosting the Vanity Pre Oscar Party, Freida says, "It’s such a wonderful feeling to be hosting the Vanity Fair Pre-Oscar bash in support of Girl Rising for the second time. It's a spectacular way to draw attention to the Girl Rising- India movement among my peers and the audiences especially since most of the world is clued in because of the prestigious upcoming Oscars. As a producer and ambassador for the Girl Rising movement, I feel so proud to see our baby taking its first steps, to becoming a revolution that aims at giving girls that much required chance to unleash their full potential, one that aims at changing mindsets towards India's daughters."
