Bollywood
diva
Sonam
Kapoor
Ahuja
has
never
shied
away
from
showing
her
support
to
causes
she
believes
in.
Currently
enjoying
some
down
time
with
husband
Anand
Ahuja
in
London,
the
actress
took
to
social
media
to
announce
her
support
to
the
Film
Heritage
foundation.
A
not-for-profit
organization
founded
by
filmmaker
and
archivist
Shivendra
Singh
Dungarpur
in
2014,
the
Film
Heritage
is
dedicated
towards
film
preservation,
restoration
and
archiving
of
historic
Indian
films.
For
the
unversed,
out
of
1700
silent
films
made
in
India
in
the
early
1900s,
only
six
survive;
and
from
the
250
films
produced
between
1931
and
1941,
only
15
are
in
existence.
Hence,
the
importance
of
the
organization
stands
strong
in
today's
age
and
time.
Impressively,
the
Heritage
Foundation
has
been
backed
by
stalwarts
like
Tacita
Dean,
Martin
Scorsese
and
Christopher
Nolan.
Endorsed
by
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
the
same
has
acclaimed
professionals
like
Shyam
Benegal,
Jaya
Bachchan,
Kamal
Haasan
and
more
on
the
Advisory
Council.
Talking
about
her
association
with
the
Foundation,
Sonam
took
to
Instagram
and
said,
"A
legacy
worth
saving:
the
heritage
of
cinema.
It
gives
me
immense
honour
and
pride
to
be
associated
with
Shivendra
Singh
Dungarpur's
organisation,
Film
Heritage
Foundation,
to
bring
into
focus
the
neglected,
but
necessary
art
of
film
preservation
and
restoration.
In
the
coming
months,
I
will
be
exclusively
showing
you
guys
the
art,
hardwork
and
perseverance
that
goes
into
archiving
the
legacy
of
films
-
not
just
in
Bollywood,
but
globally.
Super
elated
and
excited."
With
Kapoor
Ahuja
coming
in
support
of
such
a
special
organization,
we
can
expect
nothing
but
the
best.
Known
as
a
face
of
social
change,
the
actress
has
time
and
again
inspired
millions
of
her
fans
with
her
social
efforts.
On
the
work
front,
Sonam
Kapoor
Ahuja
was
last
seen
in
the
2019
release
The
Zoya
Factor
opposite
Dulquer
Salmaan.
According
to
reports,
the
actress
has
been
reading
various
scripts
currently,
during
her
stay
in
London
and
might
soon
announce
her
next.
