Masumeh was amongst the lucky few to attend the AMFAR event organized by Sharon Stone. It was almost a dream come true to rub shoulders with the Hollywood bigwigs.
An event organized by Sharon Stone for AIDS awareness, AMFAR raises money for the purpose. In a single evening they raised a good 7 million dollars. It was quite a celebrity studded event with the cast members of Oceans 13 like George Clooney, Matt Daman, Andre Gracia etc. present.
They auctioned off a kiss with George Clooney which a husband bought for his wife for 35000 dollars, it can only happen at Cannes! Steven Soderbergh, Robert Redriguiz (Director of Sin City), designers Roberto Cavalla were there. It was spectacular to meet such talented people under one roof.
Also in attendance were super models Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Dita von Tesse who did a strip show sponsored by Mac. Kylie Minogue performed a couple of her songs in order to raise money for the charity.
The event was also graced by internationally acclaimed photographer Mario Testino (he has shot every celebrity in the world) who actually made live special edition photographs for people for a fee of 10,000 dollars.
Says Masumeh, "It was really a fun event to see stars from every part of the world and I was fortunate to have been invited to the event. It really showed how one can use their celebrity status to help a cause."
Masumeh has earlier acted in films like CHUPKE SE, MAQBOOL, PADMASHREE LALOO PRASAD YADAV and WOH LAMHE. She would soon be seen in DUS KAHANIYAAN.
