Over 14,000 good Samaritans opened their hearts and helped us raise $1 Million in these trying times. Countless others helped us spread the world to expedite the process.”

“All the money raised is already being deployed across the country in the form of Oxygen Concentrators, Vaccine Support and so much more. We can all continue to help so let’s not stop here. We’re raising the fundraising target to $3 Million and we know that with your help and support, we can achieve this too,” she added.


Meanwhile, Anushka and Virat have raised Rs. 11 crore through the fundraiser they announced last week. They began the fundraiser by donating Rs. 2 crore on their behalf.

We will win this battle against the pandemic. We shall do everything to get through this, together.”
