Javed Ali Sings to Support the Families of Defense Martyrs - JAYA HEY

Mumbai, Aug 12: Versatile playback singer & performer Javed Ali will be seen singing his most popular songs at JAYA HEY, a fund-raiser to be held at Nehru Centre on August 12.

"The loss of a soldier fighting the enemy is heart breaking for any nation, but the biggest brunt of it is borne by his family… more so the Widow he leaves behind. The nation owes its freedom & security to these brave heroes. None of us can exist in isolation. We believe that our lives and our existence are supported by others in seen and unseen ways. To be aware of these connections, to feel appreciation for them, and to strive to give something back to the society in a spirit of gratitude is the proper way for human beings to live. During our research, we came across the plethora of great work that the Vasantharatna foundation has been doing under the guidance of Mrs. Subhashini Vasanth, its founder, and we instantly decided to contribute our bit for this noble cause."

said Amit Malhotra, Co-Founder & CEO of Ten Dimensions International.

Javed Ali says, "We have all heard about the soldiers sacrificing their life for the safety of our nation. But not many know the struggle of the war widows that are left behind. I am proud & extremely grateful to be associated with Jaya Hey."

The event is conceived, executed & presented by Ten Dimensions International, an all encompassing media & entertainment hub, committed to deliver world class services across its core domains of: Events, Digital, Films & Talent.

The proceeds from the event will go to the Vasantharatna Foundation for Art, an initiative by Mrs. Subhashini Vasanth, a recipient of the Neerja Bhanot Award 2016. In 2007, her husband, Col. Vasanth Venugopal was awarded the Ashok Chakra (Posthumous) for an exemplary bravery in Jammu & Kashmir.
