Maz was delighted to be photographing another Bollywood starlett when she visited Leicester just recently – it was the one and only beautiful Sushmita Sen. She was invited the Silver Star Appeal’s founder-patron Leicester East MP Keith Vaz who was diagnosed with diabetes five years ago. In a whirlwind visit, Sushmita will launch Vaz's anniversary appeal for the charity organisation, which will mark his twenty five years as the Member of Parliament for Leicester East. The appeal is designed to raise funds for further mobile diabetes testing units in Mumbai and the Midlands. So far the charity's units have tested 25,000 people in schools, communities, businesses and villages for free, resulting in diabetes caught early and many lives and limbs saved. Sushmita's visit will culminate in the hotly-anticipated launch of its raffle prize, a luxury car in Leicester.
Maz also photographed hundreds of fans who flocked to the streets to catch a glimpse of Bollywood beauty Sushmita Sen, whilst she travelled through the Golden Mile. Maz loved photographing Sushmita, who was charming, relaxed and extremely humble. Maz comments; she was magical with her fans and really admired her warmth and approachable manner. She is just so naturally stunning and it was delightful to capture her during the day. The actress was at complete ease with the audience as she called a little girl up on stage and blew kisses to the people seated above her. She requested all of the audience members to get their test done and buy a raffle ticket, to be in with a chance to win a car worth £8,000, signed by her (and Amitabh Bachchan who visits the city in June). It was a great day for me.
Maz of Leicester has nominated Silver Star Appeal as their nominated charity as Maz himself has diabetes. We urge Maz of Leicester blog readers, customers and suppliers to donate generously and also have a special offer for portrait sitting bookings donating all proceeds to Silver Star appeal.
