Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
will
head
to
Jodhpur
on
Friday
for
a
fund-raising
event,
where
he
will
be
seen
performing
with
the
famous
Shillong
Chamber
Choir
and
Vienna
Chamber
Orchestra.
The
performance
will
be
part
of
the
Jodhpur
One
World
Retreat
2015,
which
is
to
be
held
March
20-22.
Funds
raised
at
the
gala
are
donated
to
the
Head
Injury
Foundation,
founded
by
Maharaja
Gaj
Singh
II
of
Jodhpur
in
February
2007
to
build
a
comprehensive
system
in
India
for
the
prevention,
diagnosis
and
treatment
of
traumatic
brain
injuries.
During
the
evening
of
the
event's
second
day,
a
grand
finale
will
have
a
stellar
performance
by
the
Vienna
Chamber
Orchestra
and
the
Shillong
Chamber
Choir.
Joining
them
will
be
Amitabh.
"The
Shillong
Choir
from
the
North
East
of
the
country,
a
group
that
has
impressed
everyone
with
their
performances
shall
be
one
of
the
attractions
at
the
event
and
I
shall
be
performing
with
them
for
this
fund
raising
event," the
72-year-old
confirmed
on
his
blog.
Talking
about
the
cause
of
head
injuries,
he
added,
"The
Maharaja's
own
son
had
a
fall
from
his
horse
while
playing
polo,
and
was
seriously
damaged
in
the
injury
that
followed
to
his
brain.
He
has
been
through
a
great
deal
of
trauma,
and
immobility...
but
thankfully
he
has
recovered
sufficiently
well
after
years
of
treatment
to
almost
normalcy."
The
Shillong
Chamber
Choir
shot
to
fame
after
it
won
a
reality
talent
show
"India's
Got
Talent" in
2010.
A
group
of
13-22
people,
the
choir
has
performed
for
US
President
Barack
Obama
and
his
wife
Michelle,
and
its
founder
Neil
Nongkynrih
has
been
honoured
with
Padma
Shri.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
Amitabh
will
share
the
stage
with
the
Meghalaya-based
group.
They
were
roped
in
to
perform
for
the
opening
episode
of
popular
TV
game
show
"Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
6",
which
is
famously
hosted
by
the
Big
B.
