Thesexy actress and her mother have been supporting NGOs in suburban Mumbai thattake in beggar children, give them shelter and try to put them up in schools.Last year, a girl child got molested in one such shelter, and whenSameera���s mother got the police involved... the landlady of the shelterwas pressurised by the molester to evict all the children and shut down thehome.
���It happened on
Independence Day,��� revealedSameera, ���and that���s when I decided to do something for thesechildren. One year later, on this August 15, the actress will throw open thedoors of a 1,200 sq ft shelter in Goregaon East that she has managed to raisefrom scratch for these same street kids. ���I appealed to everyone to chipin and within a week, managed to raise Rs 25 lakh,��� she said. ���I wasoverwhelmed. Even my liftman offered to help.���
She���s hadfurther luck since then. Another well-wisher has donated a place in Mulund forthe same cause. ���We can now house the girls and boys separately,���said Sameera, thoroughly enthused by the spirit of Mumbai.
