15th
of
August,
India's
66th
Independence
Day
saw
the
entire
nation
unite
to
be
a
part
of
the
7-hour-long
marathon
show
Saath
Hai
Hum
Uttarakhand
on
all
Star
channels.
The
show
was
hosted
by
the
entire
Hindi
film
industry
coming
together
to
perform
and
raise
funds
to
help
the
flood-hit
Uttarakhand.
The
event
was
broadcast
live
on
all
Star
India's
channels
between
12
noon
to
7
pm,
including
Star
Plus,
Star
Utsav,
Star
Pravah,
Life
OK
and
Channel
V.
The
entire
advertisement
revenue
was
channelled
to
work
on
the
rehabilitation
of
the
hill-state.
The
definite
highlight
of
this
honourable
event
was
the
special
anthem,
Mera
Desh,
which
was
written
by
Mr
Joshi,
composed
by
Shahkar-Ehsaan-Loy
and
was
sung
by
Shankar
Mahadevan
and
Mr
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Television
actors
including
celebrities
from
top
television
shows
of
the
Star
network
such
as
Diya
Aur
Baati
Hum,
Pyaar
Ka

India,

Star
India
will
encourage
its
viewers
across
the
globe
to
lend
their
support
and
donate
generously
for
the
cause
through
several
dedicated
channels.
These
donation
lines
will
be
open
from
August
15
to
September
7,
and
the
entire
funds
collected
through
this
period
will
be
channelled
to
the
two
NGO
partners.
The
use
of
funds
will
be
overseen
by
a
team
of
independent
auditors.
Star
India's
initiative
is
an
extension
of
its
philosophy
to
use
television
as
a
tool
to
create
awareness
for
the
larger
good
of
the
society.
This
belief
is
reflected
in
the
network's
refreshing
and
inspiring
content
that
instils
a
sense
of
hope
in
its
viewers
and
persuades
them
to
be
the
change
they
want
to
see
around
them.
