There may be only some Bollywood heroines who in spite of not being in the list of the top leading ladies in the Tinsel Town is still adored and commands the same fan following exactly like the time of their heydays as Kajol.

Even though she is not an active actress anymore because of becoming very selective, whenever she comes in a cameo role or in a full fledged role, Kajol is still considered as a force to reckon with.

This is due to her formidable reputation of having a talent which gives her an incredible screen presence.

When we consider all the reasons that have made Kajol an actress who will always be remembered and the special kind of affection that the audience has for her, there is no need to get surprised because of she being made the goodwill ambassador and patron of the UK based Loomba Trust.

The charitable organization concentrates on helping the children of widows in India get access to education.

At Whitehall, Cherie Blair who is the President of Loomba Trust and wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair presented a plaque to Kajol.

The official function to announce the appointment of Kajol as the goodwill ambassador was attended by Mr.Shiv Shankar Mukherjee- Indian High Commissioner to U.K, Borris Johnson-Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone-Former mayor of London, Navnit Dholakia –Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords etc.

Till now around 3500 children of widows from India have benefited from the help they received from Loomba Trust which will be soon extending its activities to Nepal, Sri Lanka and South Africa.
