Media Advisory - The Maharaja's Bollywood Bash

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 2 /CNW/ -

    
    WHAT:     The Maharaja's Bollywood Bash is a gala event celebrating
              Indian life and culture. The evening will begin with cocktails
              including the beautiful sound of the sitar. Guests will enjoy a
              sumptuous feast fit for a Maharaja. Entertainment will include
              Bollywood and classical Indian dancers who will entice
              attendees with their sensual rhythm. The old-world bazaar will
              feature fine items from India including jewelry, artwork, and
              silks.

    WHO:      Aleem Syed was shot in 2008 and as a result sustained a spinal
              cord injury. Shan Khan is chairing the Maharaja's Bollywood
              Bash gala dinner event on March 3rd, in honour of her brother,
              Aleem. Being of south Asian decent, the siblings want to
              showcase their own culture and prove life does go on - and can
              be amazing - after a spinal cord injury, when the right support
              is available.

    WHY:      Funds raised will go towards programmes and services offered by
              the Canadian Paraplegic Association Ontario to assist for
              people with spinal cord injuries.
