Katrina Kaif is joining hands with her mother Suzanne to set up a home for abandoned baby girls in Chennai. DNA has learnt her mother is currently speaking to the state authorities to get the required permissions in place.
Katrina’s mother is also associated with ‘Hope Reach’ a home in Madurai that houses orphaned girls and has been working against female foeticide.
“I’m currently looking to open a home in Chennai for baby girls. My mother is actively involved in the project and I’m with her. She is working tirelessly to figure out what governmental procedures needs to be taken care of to start the initiative. It is one of my dreams but there’s lot of effort involved because if the girls are not adopted, we have to look after them till they turn 18. This involves lot of infrastructure and logistical support,” says Katrina who has time and again donated large sums for the cause.
On the work front, it’s been great going for the leggy lass. Is she insecure about the competition from the other top contenders like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra?
“I’m only too happy to have reached here without knowing anyone from the industry when I started out. Insecurity is a good thing as it pushes you to do better work. I’m not too keen on this number one business. I’m very fortunate that I’m doing good films with big banners and they are doing well at the box office too,” she signs off .
