A few days back PM Narendra Modi addressed the nation and announced the creation of the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM-CARES) and urged everyone to make donations and support this noble cause to fight against the novel Coronavirus.
Shah Rukh Khan has finally come forward. His Red Chillies Entertainment and VFX, KKR and Meer Foundation have come forward to lend support to PM Narendra Modi and the government’s fight to stem the deadly coronavirus.
Taking to his Twitter handle, SRK announced that Kolkata Knight Riders, Red Chillies Entertainment, Meer Foundation and Red Chillies VFX will contribute to the government. He re-tweeted a post from the official Twitter handle of Red Chillies Entertainment and wrote, “In these times it’s imp to make everyone around u working tirelessly for u.. not related to u.. perhaps even unknown to u… 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. (sic)”
Read all the initiatives of SRK in the tweet below.
SRK also released a media statement where quoting Nidai Fazli Sahib, he said, “Raat ke baad naye din ki sahar aayegi, Din nahi badlega, tareeq Badal jayegi.” He also said that he will lend monetary support to relief funds, donate protective kits for healthcare workers and also provide for food for the families of the daily wage workers.
In the statement, he also said, “Given the enormity of the task, my team and I discussed ways to contribute in our own modest way. We have come up with a series of initiatives, which we hope will make a small difference. The efforts of our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji coupled with the efforts of the Chief Ministers, Shri Uddhav Thackeray ji, Smt Mamata Banerjee, Shri Arvind Kejriwal and all other States and Union Territories leaders have been commendable in fighting this pandemic. We have initially focused our efforts on the three cities – Mumbai, Kolkata and New Delhi with the realisation that this is a start and we stand ready to contribute in whichever way possible going forward.”
