This Sunday you can buy stuff from some famous people, and help a good cause.
Garage sales are not uncommon in India but celeb garage sales are unheard of. However, that’s about to change. Some B-Town celebrities are coming together for a garage sale to help raise funds. The proceeds from this will go to ATMA, a non-profit organisation (NGO) dedicated to improving the quality of education for underprivileged children and young adults.
The contributing stars though not big names, have a big heart including Soha Ali Khan, Shruti Hassan, Amrita Puri, Juhi Pande, Simone Singh, Gaurav Kapur, Ankur Tewari, Sophie Choudhry and Eijaz Khan among others. Why none of the Khan or the Kapoors on the list? Or even big sports stars like Sachin Tendulkar and Dhoni? Says a insider, “None of the big celebrities were asked because getting stuff from big celebrities and coordination takes a lot of time. The idea behind the Celebrity Garage sale was to encourage people to come buy stuff from some of the ‘coolest celebrities in town.’”
The items range from books, clothes, accessories to quirky products. The sale will be hosted by 10 celebrities who will sell their stuff at reasonable prices. It will be held at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon & Spa, Bandra rooftop.
