Anushka Sharma & Virat Kohli donated 2 crores for helping the COVID victims

We can see the COVID 19 victims rising everyday. Many of the Bollywood celebrities are coming forward with a helping hand for all those sufferers in need. Celebrity couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli also decided to provide a helping hand in such crisis. They have started a fundraiser campaign to raise money for helping people deal with the Covid.

Both of them have collaborated with crowd-funding platform Ketto and started a fund raising campaign #InThisTogether for raising money for the poor and needy dealing with the COVID crises.  The couple donated Rs 2 crore for this initiative. They aim to raise 7 crore for Covid relief in India.

The couple talked about this campaign in an interview. Anushka said, “India is going through an extremely difficult time and the second wave of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic has pushed our country to a state of crisis. It is time for all of us to come together and do our bit for our fellow countrymen who are in serious need of support.”

She continued, “Virat and I have been hugely pained looking at the inexplicable suffering that people are going through and we hope that this fund will aid in our fight against the virus that we are all helplessly witnessing. We are praying for everyone’s safety. We hope that you join us in our prayers to save as many lives as possible because we are all in this together.”

Virat Kohli said, “We are going through an unprecedented time in the history of our country and our nation needs all of us to unite and save as many people as possible. Anushka and I have been shocked to see humans suffering since last year. We have been working towards helping as many people as possible all through the pandemic and now, India wants our support more than ever.”

He continued, “We are starting this fundraiser with the confidence that we will be able to raise substantial funds to aid those in dire need. We are confident that people will come forward to support fellow countrymen in crisis. We are in this together and we shall overcome this.”

Their campaign #InThisTogether will run for seven days and the money raised will be directed to the implementation partners of the campaign, ACT Grants.
