Every year, Shabana Azmi gets the creme de la creme of the film fraternity to walk the ramp for a fashion show that raises money for her charity, the Mijwan Welfare Society.

The annual affair has a different theme every year. The theme for 2015 is 'legacy', and Bollywood parents and their children will raise awareness about and empower women in the rural areas - especially Mijwan, a village in Uttar Pradesh, which is Shabana's father Kaifi Azmi's hometown. This year, along with Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan, Anil and Sonam Kapoor, Boney and Arjun Kapoor, Shabana's husband Javed Akhtar will also be walking the ramp with son Farhan Akhtar.

Farhan says, "Mijwan is an initiative that Shabana has been invoved with since many years. This is more than just a family initiative for me. It is an obvious extension of MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination) which also works towards similar causes." Though the actor hasn't been to Mijwan, he says he is well aware about how Shabana is proactively involved with it. "In all honesty, this event is not about me. I am not concerned about what people are going to think about me walking the ramp or what they will talk. This is for awareness and raising funds. But, I am excited to be walking the ramp with my father," he adds.
