Sanjay
Dutt
is
associated
with
many
causes
and
now
he
has
become
the
brand
ambassador
for
the
NGO
Save

organisation
founded

Shetty
25

“I
love
children
and
the
work
that
Save
The
Children
is
doing
is
wonderful.
Suniel
and
Mana
are
my
family.
When
they
asked
me
to
become
the
brand
ambassador
for
Save
The
Children,
I
didn"t
hesitate.
If
by
lending
my
name
to
a
cause
if
I
can
help
make
the
lives
of
these
children
better
by
even
one
per
cent,
then
I
am
willing."

work
suniel
shetty
adds,
“Save
The
Children
was
my
mother-in-law"s
dream
and
today
her
children,
Mana,
Rahul
and
Isha
are
fulfilling
it
with
their
spouses
supporting
them.
Sanju
was
one
of
mom"s
(Vipula)
favourite
sons
and
who
better
than
him
to
become
the
face
of
Save
The
Children.
It"s
a
Rs
1
concept
by
Pantaloon
in
Big
Bazaar
where
every
Rs
1
that
a
customer
gives
away
will
make
a
difference
to
the
children
of
the
foundation.
For
every
Rs
1
given
by
the
customer
Kishore
Biyani
will
give
Rs
1
too.
Sanju
has
lent
his
name
and
face
to
the
cause
and
will
request
people
to
give
them
one
rupee.
Your
Rs
1
could
make
a
big
difference
to
the
children
of
lesser
Gods."
Bachcha

Sanjay
loves
children
and
was

do
the

“When
we
asked
him
he
immediately
gave
three
hours
out
of
his
busy
schedule
to
shoot
