Mumbai, March 23 (IANS) Star couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have decided to merge their respective foundations - Anushka Sharma Foundation and Virat Kohli Foundation - to launch a joint non-profit initiative aimed at helping those in need.
Anushka and Virat said in a joint statement: "In the words of Kahlil Gibran, 'For in truth it is life that gives unto life - while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness'. With this sentiment in mind, we have decided to work together through SeVVA aiming to reach out to as many people as possible."
"SeVVA's work won't be confined to a particular issue as it will continue to strive for social good by championing humanity which is the need of the hour today."
Meanwhile, Virat will continue to provide scholarships in sports and also sponsor athletes, and Anushka will continue to be involved with animal welfare as she has over the years.
Also, the two of them, through SeVVA, will be on the lookout to aid areas of concern that benefits society at large.
Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor returned to India last month after undergoing medical treatment in New York, and it seems now he can't wait to be back in action.
The makers of Ayushamann Khurrana's "Bala" on Thursday also announced that the film is preponed from November 15 to November 7. However, this change in the release date did not go down well with the producers of the upcoming film "Ujda Chaman".
Ekta Kapoor was interacting with the media at the trailer launch of "Fittrat" along with cast members Krystle D'souza, Anushka Ranjan, Aditya Seal and the show's director Santosh Singh on Wednesday in Mumbai.
Actor Priyanshu Chatterjee, who is gearing up for the release of "Officer Arjun Singh IPS Batch 2000", has said that truth alone triumphs is the message of the forthcoming action-cop drama.
