A galaxy of beauty queens from B-Town like Shabana Azmi, Sushmita Sen, Gul Panag and Dia Mirza came together for an event to support National Geographic channel's #StandWithAGirl plan. This program begins with the television premiere of 'He Named Me Malala' on International Women`s Day on March 8.

By this plan the channel wants to support education and empowerment of the girl child.. a cause close to the celebrities' life. During the event, beauty queen opened up saying, "It's time to raise our voice against illiteracy and inequality. I support girl's education with all my heart. We all need to stand up to fight all obstacles that come in the way of our daughters` education. The least we can do is to communicate the significance of education and empowerment of our country`s daughters."

This program will be screened as the channel's 'Megadoc', 'He Named Me Malala' which is a critically acclaimed documentary on Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousufzai. She was the one who braved bullets to further the cause of girls' education and standing up for girls` rights. The channel sources say that, every month, the 'Megadoc' will feature a documentary of global significance.
