Indeed, a thoughtful and timely gesture! Anything for Mumbai. No to corona!” read the tweet.

In a tweet, the superstar had written, “In these times it is important to make everyone around you working tirelessly for you – not related to you. perhaps even unknown to you – to feel they are not alone and by themselves. Let’s just make sure we all do our little bit to look after each other. India and all Indians are One Family.”
