The ‘beti’ movement is a clarion call against female foeticide, rampant all across. It is a mission of Anu Ranjan which is playing havoc with Gender balance as created by Mother-Nature.

It is in this vein that the ramp walk was organized on Saturday May 1, at the Sahara Star Hotel in Suburban, Mumbai.
The occasion attracted host of celebrities but the biggest flash was when we saw celebrity fathers walking the ramp with their ‘beti’s’.

The entire evening was conceived by eminent Fashion Designer Archana Kochhar, who had also designed the clothes for the celebrities walking the ramp. Elaborating on her efforts, she said, It was quite a task to design for 50 different individuals, as each outfit has to compliment and reflect their persona.

“It’s really overwhelming to see such support and goodwill for ‘beti’ from such eminent personalities. And I promise, we will be relentless in our pursuit to create awareness about it,” said visibly touched Anu Ranjan.
