Abbas-Mustan donate Rs. 1 lakh each to an orphanage : Bollywood News

The under-stated publicity-shy directorial duo Abbas-Mustan have always done their bit for charitable causes, albeit quietly. It was only recently when they visited an orphanage in Gujarat for a shooting that an example of the duo's largesse came to light. Speaking shyly of the incident, the more vocal brother, Abbas, says, "Yes, we did donate some money at the girls' orphanage in Gujarat where we had gone for the mahurat of a Gujarati children's film Adukiya Dadukiyo. You see, it's being directed by our former assistant Amar Solanki, and one of the girls from the orphanage also stars in the film. We happily went there, and had a memorable time." Abbas was deeply moved by the spirit of the parentless children. "These girls have known no home, no parents and no family, outside the orphanage. And yet they were so happy! They even performed a really happy comic play for us and were tutored to say, 'Please see Race'. We were deeply moved to see all these cute little girls with their smiles and twinkling eyes. So yes, both Mustan and I donated Rs.1 Lakh each." Abbas ends the topic with an embarrassed shrug. "What's there to talk about it? It's such a small matter. These children deserve a lot more."
