Actor Randeep Hooda along with Jay Patel has decided to donate 1 crore for the same. While talking about the current scenario in the country, Randeep said, “We salute the heroes who are serving against the life-threatening Coronavirus Disease without fear round the clock – doctors, nurses, police and daily needs suppliers. The world is going through pandemic with extreme effects of a virus that has not been experienced by any of us living today.”
Actor-producer Ranjha Vikram, who has also donated an amount for the same, stated, “I do not believe in telling the world about my contribution, but the effect of this virus is so widespread, and apart for medical facilities, care of the lesser privileged is also extremely important. That is why I hope many will follow suit and understand that no contribution is too small. I would also like to thank our healthcare workers, police and defense forces, who are still operating in this crisis to ensure our safety. They stand at greater risk but still haven’t budged from their duty, and I salute them all.”
