Cherie Blair, President of the Loomba Trust welcomed Preity Zinta, a famous Bollywood star, who won the best actress award at the Chicago International Film Festival for Deepa Mehta’s film Heaven and Earth, in which she played the role of a wife subjected to domestic violence in the film.
Preity said she was honoured to be associated with such a prestigious charity and as her mother was widowed when she was only 13 years old she fully understands the problems such women face due to widowhood. I want to support the work of the Loomba Trust to alleviate the plight of widows in India and other countries.
