A few months back Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt announced her philanthropic initiative called ‘Mi Wardrobe is Su Wardrobe’. The initiative mainly involved many of the actress’ belongings from her personal closet put up for sale at the Stylecracker Night Market. With this, fans were able to go, physically check and buy things of their choice that once belonged in Alia’s closet. In less than an hour, the stall was entirely sold out.
The proceeds from this wardrobe sale were then used to light up homes for forty families in Mandya district’s Kikkeri Village in Karnataka. Extending their support to Alia’s cause was a Liter of Light, an initiative of a Bangalore based NGO called Aroha. This organization recycles plastic bottles to provide solar lamps to economically backward communities that have limited or no access to electricity.

In a statement, Alia expressed her gratitude and happiness and shared, “So many families in India continue to live in darkness and Liter of Light’s eco-friendly solar lamps are an innovative and sustainable way to light up homes. The project in Kikkeri will benefit 200 lives and through Mi Wardrobe is Su Wardrobe we plan to work with many such organizations, creating a brighter future for many more.”
With ‘Mi Wardrobe is Su Wardrobe’, Alia has begun to contribute her bit to the society and is impacting lives with a promise for a better tomorrow. The 25-year-old actress who adores her pet cat, Edward, also created a platform Coexist which works to create awareness around ecological issues.
On the work front, Alia has delivered one of the biggest hits of this year, Raazi. She currently has her kitty filled with interesting projects like Gully Boy, Brahmastra and Kalank. She will also be seen in Ashwiny Tiwary's next which has a comic backdrop.
