Farhan Akhtar and Arjun Rampal along with many other Bollywood celebrities are going to be part of the "Rock On for Humanity: In Aid of the Children of Bihar" concert, a fundraiser to aid the victims of the massive flooding in Bihar. The event is being held on October 31st from 5 until 10 pm at the MMRDA Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai.
In August of this year, the torrential rain in Bihar caused massive flooding and over 3.3 million people have been impacted by the horrible situation. Neither the rains nor the water have receded so not only has there been no chance to recover, conditions are getting worse. The Prime Minister has declared the floods a calamity and it is estimated by international NGO ActionAid that about 2,000 people have died.

Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal spoke about his latest flick ''EMI'' that deals with bank loan and credit card fraud in Mumbai.
The film is produced by Sunil Shetty and directed by Saurabh Kadra.
Actors Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Malaika Arora, Aashish Chaudhary, Neha Uberoi and Urmila Matondkar constitute star cast of the film.
Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal whose last films ''Rock on'' and ''Om Shanti Om'' have established him as a dependable actor at the box office said that story was film''s unique selling proposition.
After creating waves with his latest film Rock On!!, Arjun Rampal moves on to television, as a judge in the fourth season of Star Plus' popular celebrity dance show Nach Baliye. He talks to Rajul Hegde about his new role, and much more.
What brings you to television?
I think television is a great medium to interact with viewers across India. Another reason is that my production company, called Chasing Ganesha, is planning to make shows for television. This show will help me to understand the medium closely. I am trying to experiment by working on television.
He learnt to play the guitar, grew his hair really long and genuinely gelled with his co-stars. The effort has paid off for model-turned-actor Arjun Rampal who says Rock On is his biggest hit so far.
He has been showered with praise for his performance as down-and-out rocker Joe Mascarenhas in the hit movie about four friends who form a rock band.
"Everyone thought Rock On was going to be just a multiplex film. It's gone way beyond. People are getting in touch with their old friends because of Rock On. That's truly gratifying. Even the small-towners are reacting to it. Just proves if you make a film from your heart, it connects. All I can say is, wow. This is my biggest success so far," Arjun said.
As you may have noticed, the gallery has been down for the last few days. I'm receiving database error messages, and have worked for the last two days to fix things, without any success.
Therefore, I'll have to completely redo the gallery. Sorry for any inconvenience, but I will try to get it back up as soon as possible.
As we talk, Arjun gets a call from Suraj, the lead singer of the band Dream Out Loud who tells Arjun, 'So many musicians can connect with the musician's characters in Rock On .You gave them back hope.'
"What more could I've hoped for?" says Arjun in amazement. Bollywood's first true-blue rock star is born. And Arjun Rampal who has been praised by everyone from Shekhar Kapoor to David Dhawan, isn't in the mood to let go of the guitar and all that it represents. "What I've really taken home from Rock On is some great friendships. It was such an experience to work with really new talent...everyone in the film was either fresh talent or new to me. And they turned out to be people who'll stay friends with me for keeps."
Arjun feels Rock On worked because of the camaraderie. "What you see is not faked. All of us, from the director Abhishek Kapoor to Farhan, Luke Kenny , Purab Kohli and me, we spent a lot of time together. We read the script together, spoke about each other's characters and just hung out. So by the time we faced the camera we looked like really good friends who have known one another for decades."
