Athiya Shetty Showed Her Charitable Side By Helping Children Get Quality Education!
Athiya Shetty showed her charitable side by taking over her mother's welfare organisation Save The Children which helps children get quality education.
Athiya Shetty has been living a life full of compassion and charity right from her childhood days and she hasn't stopped even till date. She invests time in her mother's welfare organisation Save The Children and has now taken the lead from her mother Mana and is managing it all by herself. She opened up about how she got into charity and walked down memory lane by saying, "I started when I was 10. I used to go after school ended and help teach children with special needs. And then as I grew older, I started working with adolescent girls, who were rescued."
Not
only
does
Athiya
Shetty
donate
money
to
the
welfare
association,
she
personally
spends
a
lot
of
time
with
the
children
and
feels
time
is
more
valuable
to
the
children
than
money.
She
said,
"Time,
I
feel,
is
more
important
for
these
children,
they
feel
special
and
loved
when
you
even
spend
half
a
day
with
them.
Besides
that,
I
try
and
give
away
a
percentage
of
my
income
and
clothes
and
whatever
I
think
they'd
like/need."
She also praised her mother Mana Shetty for teaching her to be compassionate towards others and she wishes to do good to the children in need. She was quoted as saying, "I have learned so many things from my mom. She's passionate about taking care of these children and making sure they receive an education, which is every child's right, no matter what."
Athiya Shetty debuted in the film Hero alongside Sooraj Pancholi in 2015 but sadly the film did not do as expected at the box office. She is currently shooting for Anees Bazmee's upcoming film Mubarakan and a major portion of the film will be shot in London. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz and is scheduled to hit the theatres in July 2017.
