``Yahin se baat shuru hoti hai (whole concept of life begins here),'' she told reporters today after extending her support to Delhi Government's `Safe motherhood campaign.'

The Nepalese beauty said her main job would be to generate awareness about the problems associated with pregnancy and help in fund collection.

Asked whether she would campaign for safe motherhood at the national level, Koirala said, ``if I can, I will like to go global.''

She claimed it was not a beginning of a political career for her saying, ``I am not supporting any political parties but a cause.''

Koirala, who is here at the invitation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) which is observing 1998 as `Year of safe motherhood', said she was ``a socially aware person who represented people in problems''.

Delhi Health Minister Harshvardhan, who wasalso present at the press conference, said Koirala had decided to take a plunge after learning the shockingly higher maternal mortality rate.

Every year out of one lakh expecting mothers in India, 400 to 800 die during childbirth as against an average of four in developed countries.

About teenage tennis star Martina Hingis who has contributed millions towards Nepal's extended immunisation programme, Koirala admitted that she would be able to contribute ``only a little money to the cause but can help in generating funds collectively''.

Asked whether her role of a suicide bomber in just released Dil Se would push common women to a violent life, she said, ``I don't think so''.

Harshvardhan said inclusion of celebrities would help get people interested in the campaign ``since their message gets across very fast as compared to politicians''.

The health minister, who has recently come under flak for dropsy epidemic in the capital, said his efforts would be directed at developing health issues as asocial movement.

``Pregnancy instead of becoming some sort of pleasure for expecting mothers comes as a curse for them,'' the health minister said.

Claiming that 20 per cent of expecting mothers die due to anaemia and 20 per cent due to hemorrhage, he said most of pregnancy-related deaths could be avoided by timely antenatal and proper treatment.

Since may this year, Delhi Government has been organising `Matri Suraksha Divas' on tenth of every month.
