"11 glorious years, the journey so far has been remarkable and truly memorable. This year, I am especially privileged as I also get to lend my support to a very important cause at the amfAR dinner, by helping raise funds for the fight against AIDS. It makes me proud that the brand sponsors and supports the cause," Aishwarya said.

amfAR is one of the world's leading non-profit organizations dedicated to support the AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment, education and the advocacy of sound AIDS related public policy.

Gwen Stefani, Milla Jovovich, Doutzen Kroes, Natasha Poly, Julianna Margulies and Diane Keaton will represent the same brand at the amfAR Gala alongwith Aishwarya. Hollywood celebrities like Alec Baldwin, Kenneth Cole, Milutin Gatsby, Michel Hazanavicius and Berenice Bejo, designer Karl Lagerfeld, Hugh Laurie, Carine Roitfeld and Harvey Weinstein are some of the other key people who will be at the amfAR dinner. u00a0
