The wonderful initiative taken up by actor-director Farhan Akhtar raising the voice against Rape and Discrimination in form of Men Against Rape and Discrimination (MARD) is getting good response. Super Star Shah Rukh Khan lent his support with the above seen twirling of moustache picture which is associated with manliness. Farhan wants to make SRK as the primary face for this campaign.
On the eve of IPL match between SRK’s Kolkata Knight Riders and Preity Zinta’s Kings XI Punjab on April 26, a grand gala event is planned in Eden Gardens where in MARD team will distribute 70, 000 moustaches to spectators creating awareness on women’s safety. Into the tragic past, Farhan designed this campaign in August last year hearing about a ghastly rape and murder of Mumbai lawyer followed by brutal December 16 gang rape in Delhi.
