Mumbai: After being knighted by the prestigious Padma Shri, Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan has had change of heart. Chote Nawab is all set to appear in an entertainment event benefiting Women Against Violence and Empowerment (WAVE) - an organisation dealing with violence against women and working for their empowerment. According to our sources the actor will also participate in an event that "is being coordinated by WAVE and a TV channel. Saif, Katrina Kaif and a couple of other stars will be part of the event that takes place in Mumbai on February 20," reveals his spokesperson from Carving Dreams (the agency that manages his brand and business interests). Saif has been an avid musician. His love for guitar can be proven in various rock concerts he has done with the famous rock band Parikrama. Hence, it is very much expected that the star would do a solo number for the show. "Saif is taking a personal interest in the proceedings. He comes for the creative meetings, has discussions on how much and where he can contribute and is putting a lot of effort in to the event. It`s not just about going on stage and performing but also how the creative act can be the best possible one. In fact, Saif`s involvement helped WAVE begin the journey. Even Katrina Kaif coming aboard has happened after that. Depending on the success of this event, we will decide whether a plan should be carried forth for a multi-city series of events too or not," Saif’s PRO said. "When WAVE wanted a star to become their brand ambassador and spread awareness, we suggested to Saif that he take it up. Saif immediately agreed to be the WAVE face”. A star endorsing a cause is not new in bollywood. Whether, this in particular, is to emphasize on the deeds of a Padma Shri or just to prove its worthiness is an altogether different question!
