UK actress Elizabeth Hurley is in Udaipur in Rajasthan to celebrate her NRI boyfriend Arun Nayar's birthday. She attended to a charity dinner during the weekend to raise funds for Mumbai’s street children.

Liz Hurley has helped raise over 50,000 pounds for Magic Bus, the charity organization aimed at uplifting Mumbai’s street children, child laborers, orphans, slum children and children of sex workers. Magic Bus has helped over 3,500 street children in Mumbai during the last five years.

Matthew Spacie, founder and chairman of the organization, said he was “touched by the generosity of people,” adding that “these funds will go a long way for Magic Bus.” The charity plans to reach 25,000 children in the metropolis in the next four years, Spacie added.

Last week, Liz was with Arun Nayar on his birthday Saturday evening in a gala ceremony at the 18th century Devigarh Fort Palace Hotel in Udaipur. There were rumors that the two would also tie the nuptial knot during the event, but their prospective marriage still remains a puzzle for the media.
