More than half of Pakistan is facing catastrophic floods following the torrential monsoon rains. People across the country have come together to collect donations for the flood victims. Last night the veteran actor Meera decided to put her craft and talent to good use and staged a dance performance at Times Square, New York to raise flood donations.
She requested the viewers to raise money for flood relief. Meera also posted these videos and images on her social media, stating that she’s ready to perform anywhere in the world “as long as at least one bereaved family is able to have a roof over their heads.” The videos were shared on several social media platforms and displayed snippets from her eclectic performances. Meera aims to raise awareness across the world of the intensity of destruction happening in multiple parts of Pakistan.
The actress can be seen dressed to the nines in a beautiful bright pink gharara and a long kurta embellished with silver embroidery. Meera shared the purpose of her performance to her followers on Instagram by writing “Today I performed in New York to raise money for flood victims. My sincere request to Muslims everywhere is as follows: Please let’s join hands and work towards this jointly. Let’s just open our hearts and homes to the families of flood victims. Together, we can accomplish anything. Let’s not belittle those that ask for assistance. Together, we can.”
The start also added, “Being an artist and the most sensitive element of the society, I am willing to perform for flood victims anywhere in the world as long as at least one bereaved family is able to have a roof over their heads. I am grateful to the dignified chief organizer Ayesha Ali and all the other organizers of the Brooklyn fundraising event for the special invitation and for providing me with the opportunity to participate in this noble cause.”
Many other celebrities and public figures such as Sarwat Gilani, Shehzad Roy, Humayun Saeed, Faysal Quraishi and many others are also using their platforms to raise awareness and share authentic sources to donate to the victims of the floods.
