Paul Chowdhry to perform at humanitarian event ‘Gala for Gaza’

Comedian Paul Chowdhary will be part of an inter-faith unique special black-tie humanitarian event, Gala for Gaza.

Presented by Simple PR & Events in collaboration with Human Appeal, the event will place on Saturday 1st June 2024 at The Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London.


The evening will feature a performance by Chowdhry whilst the primary objective is to support the children of Gaza.

“I am honoured to have the opportunity to be a part of an event that will aid those in need. Life is like a lottery and we don't get to choose where we're born. It could have easily been us,” Chowdhry said in a statement.

The event’s purpose is to raise funds and hold auctions, with all proceeds dedicated to providing immediate care and attention for the children of Gaza.

“I’m extremely proud to be working alongside Human Appeal, a reputable UK Muslim charity, to implement a fundraising event open to all faiths, for the prime purpose of helping children in Gaza. I’m very passionate about supporting children caught up in war-ridden situations, and proceeds from this event will provide medical aid, food, shelter, and access to vital resources. Whilst the cause in question is that of dismay, Paul Chowdhry is the perfect choice to provide some laughter to the evening,” said Nafila Khan - CEO & Founder of Simple PR & Events.

Human Appeal is a non-profit organisation working across the globe to strengthen humanity’s fight against poverty, social injustice, and natural disaster. Since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza, Human Appeal has provided 1 million hot meals and 20,000 nutritious food parcels to feed 100,000 families facing famine and provided 3.6 million worth of lifesaving aid.

Zaheer Khan - Fundraising Director of Human Appeal – said, “The past 8 months have shocked the world with the injustice and indiscriminate killing of innocent children, women, and men in Gaza. To date, this has been one of our most difficult campaigns due to the complexity of delivering aid in Gaza. Despite the threat our teams face on the ground, enduring personal losses, and the blockades, Human Appeal has continued to provide support. Events like this allow us to meet our donors and supporters to raise vital aid that will change and transform lives. We would like to thank our partner Simple PR & Events for their support and putting together this event.”

Priyanka Chopra becomes India's highest-paid actress with £2.7M paycheck, beating Deepika & Alia!

Priyanka Chopra has once again rewritten the rules of the Indian film industry. Despite not starring in an Indian movie for six years, she has now become the highest-paid actress in the country. According to reports, she is charging £2.7 million (₹30 crore) for her upcoming film with SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. This puts her ahead of Bollywood’s top stars like Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Kareena Kapoor.

Actor salaries in Indian cinema have always been a topic of speculation, but Priyanka’s latest paycheck has confirmed a major shift. Traditionally, male actors dominate the highest-paid list, with stars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan earning £9 million (₹100 crore) per film. However, Priyanka’s new deal shows that female actors are closing the gap.

Abhishek Bachchan says Aishwarya Rai’s ‘I want to talk’ call stresses him, fans are in splits!

At the Showsha Reel Awards 2025, Abhishek Bachchan bagged the Best Actor award for his gripping performance in I Want to Talk, helmed by Shoojit Sircar. While his win was a significant milestone in his career, it was a light-hearted exchange with Arjun Kapoor that became the talk of the town.

During the event, Arjun Kapoor, who was hosting a segment, decided to throw a cheeky question Abhishek’s way. “Who is that one person whose ‘I want to talk’ call stresses you out?” he asked, referencing the film’s title in a humorous twist. Without missing a beat, Abhishek responded with a knowing smile, “Tumhari shaadi nahi hui hai na abhi tak… jab ho jaayegi, you’ll have an answer for that.” (You’re not married yet… once you are, you’ll know the answer.)
