Director duo Abbas-Mustan have always done their bit for charitable causes, albeit quietly. During a recent visit to an orphanage in Gujarat for a shooting, an example of their largesse came to light.

“Yes, we donated some money at the girls’ orphanage in Gujarat where we had gone for the mahurat of a Gujarati children’s film Adukiya Dadukiyo,” said Abbas, adding: “You see it’s being directed by our former assistant Amar Solanki and one of the girls from the orphanage also stars in the film. We happily went there and had a memorable time.”

Abbas was deeply moved by the spirit of the children without parents, “These girls have known no home, no parents and no family outside the orphanage. And yet they were so happy. They even performed a really happy comic play for us.”

“We were deeply moved to see all these cute little girls with their twinkling eyes. Both Mustan and I donated Rs 1 lakh each,” he said.
