Here are the highlights of the #AllForBengal Telethon:
Vidya Balan, Actress on #AllForIndia telethon:
My heart is breaking because I have a very long, a very unique and lovely relationship with Kolkata and West Bengal. That is where I started my career. My first film was a Bengali film, Bhalo Theko. Since then I have shot many films there like Parineeta, Kahaani, Kahaani 2, Begum Jaan. Not just in Kolkata, but also Falta, Shantiniketan & Chandand Nagar. Each time I felt at home. I never felt like I was miles away from my own home because the people gave me so much love and accepted me wholeheartedly.
Today, I am worried about all of them. But I know that Bengal will heal very quickly. I will do as much as I can for them, and I appeal to you to do the same. Let's all help to rebuild Bengal. I would like to send all my love to everyone in West Bengal. Stay well.
