To help Hangal recover from his illness and improve his financial status, Riyaz donated Rs.50,000 from his side. And that's not all
The designer told IANS, "All the 18 models who walked the ramp donning my collection have also donated 50 percent of their remuneration, amounting to Rs.25,000, for the well being of the veteran actor."
Riyaz will also be auctioning off all his six collections that he displayed on ramp and give all the money to Hangal and his family.
"It was a fantastic show. I have never seen so many photographers and press in my life before, I am feeling great," Hangal told reporters after the show at BKC Trident.
Hangal, a professional tailor-turned-actor, lives a life of penury in his modest groundfloor flat in Saraswati Apartments, Santacruz East. He is unable to afford his mounting medical bills while suffering from old age related problems. Tending to him is his son, Vijay, 75, a former Bollywood still photographer, who had to give up his work due to a severe back ailment.
