Superstar Shah Rukh Khan will perform for the first time in his home town Delhi this Christmas eve as part of ‘Temptations 2005′.

The show is a multi-star extravaganza that has become a legend with over 30 performances across the globe to extend support for the rights of 70 million disabled people.

King Khan will lead a line-up of luminaries from the tinsel town including Rani Mukherjee , Priyanka Chopra , Zayed Khan and Esha Deol at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium to raise funds and awareness for the National Access Campaign launched by the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for the Disabled People (NCPEDP) to create a barrier free environment.

The decade-old NCPEDP, with Congress President Sonia Gandhi as its founding Chairperson, has been leading the fight for rights of the disabled.

The show will be scripted , directed and coordinated by Moranis and Soorma of Cineyug Entertainment.

SRK made the announcement of the next stopover of the ‘Temptations Tour’ at a press conference in Mumbai on Saturday evening in the presence of NCPEDP Executive Director Javed Abidi and Rani.

The superstar said he felt fortunate to contribute his bit as a performer to an institution like NCPEDP, which was playing a key role to ensure that disabled people got their due from the society.

”This will be my first day show and we plan to do it as exciting as we have done in the previous tour.” Abidi said there are over 70 million disabled people in India.

Less than one per cent of the children with disability receive education of any kind.

Most of the transport, education and work infrastructure in the country do not have accessible feature and thus effectively forcing disabled people to become prisoners in their homes. Even ten years after the disability act was passed, disabled people are waiting for opportunities for jobs, education and participation in public life.

At the conference SRK came out in support of the disabled and said that they are no different from the able bodied and they should be treated with respect and dignity.

The show which had been postponed twice before at last saw the end of the tunnel with all the authorities of Delhi giving a go ahead.

Calling his show a ’small little benefit’ for the disabled people who he said were far stronger in the mind than the abled, SRK said that it was important that more and more people understood their problems.

“Small steps like ramps and lifts are important for the disabled and corporates and others should come forward for the same,” he said.
