The superstar will now join Indian origin M.P. Keith Vaz at the opening of new premises for diabetes charity in Leicester. The charity was launched by Vaz after he himself was diagnosed diabetic.
Fans in Leicester are bound to throng the new premises in large numbers to get a dekko of Bollywood’s biggest superstar. The new building of the Silver Star Appeal will help support the work of the Leicester-based charity which aims to raise awareness about diabetes and provide free blood sugar tests through mobile assessment units.

Hansika met with an accident recently while on her way to the shoot of her film Maska near Banjara Hills in Hyderabad. Luckily, Hansika escaped unharmed except for an injury to her hand. She was immediately taken to a hospital and after tending to her hand, was released in an hour.
By now its common knowledge that Hansika has been busy managing her time shooting for Bollywood films and South films (not to mention also squeezing in some time for academics too). The thorough professional that she is, she didn’t want to waste an entire day and turned up for the shoot despite being asked to take a day off. Must say, this attitude of hers will indeed help her go a long way in the days to come.

London, (IANS) Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is to join Indian-origin MP Keith Vaz this week to open the new premises of a diabetes charity in Leicester.
The new building of the Silver Star Appeal will help support the work of the Leicester-based charity which aims to raise awareness about diabetes and provide free blood sugar tests through mobile assessment units.
Hundreds of fans are expected to turn out to see the legendary actor in Leicester, a city that has been dubbed Little India for its large Indian-origin population.
Bachchan is in Britain as part of his global Unforgettable tour.
“It is a great honour to welcome a star of the calibre of Amitabh Bachchan to Leicester to contribute to this important cause, and one which I know will delight all local people,” said Vaz who launched the charity after discovering he was diabetic.
There are over 2.2 million people in Britain diagnosed with diabetes but another 750,000 who would have Type 2 diabetes don’t yet know it because they have not been tested, experts say.
By 2010 it is estimated that there will be 66,000 people in the county of Leicestershire alone who have undiagnosed diabetes.
Early diagnosis can prevent many people from developing the complications of the condition.
People with Type 2 diabetes are generally diagnosed between 9-12 years after the onset of the condition and it is often only picked up when they are already showing signs of one or more of the related complications: heart disease, blindness, stroke and poor circulation that can lead to lower limb amputation.
