Actress Esha Koppikar, who’s career crashed and burned in Bollywood just as her movies crashed and burned at the box office, has finally taken one last shot to fame by taking another route – that of the social cause one. Apparently, the ‘Khallas Girl’ is now all set to support Child Reach International, an NGO that offers support to young children.

While Esha doesn’t really have any memorable movies in her belt, we have to give this one to her. Associating oneself with a social cause that has a mass appeal, works both ways. For many actresses, this has been a step up to a good life and to a last recognition before their flame sputters and dies forever.

The cause itself also gets an ambassador and the more familiar that face is, the more likely is a flurry of donations for the NGO. There has been no dearth of Bollywood stars entangling themselves with social causes and this perhaps is one side of the film industry that is commendable. Though nobody really knows what the ulterior motive here is, the fact that such actions would help children get ahead in their lives, is worth something.

The NGO Childreach International, is a registered society that helps children from all over India who belong to poor and deprived households.
