Shah Rukh Khan’s group of companies, Kolkata Knight Riders, Red Chillies Entertainment, Meer Foundation and Red Chillies VFX recently announced several initiatives to support the efforts of Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi and the Government in its COVID-19 fight. With an array of initiatives dispersed to diversify the effectiveness, this step has been welcomed by not just the industry peers but also by the Chief Ministers Uddhav Thackeray and Arvind Kejriwal.
On Twitter on Thursday evening, Shah Rukh Khan wrote, “In these times it’s imp to make everyone around you working tirelessly for you.. not related to u.. to feel they are not alone and by themselves. Let’s just make sure we will do our little bit to look after each other. India and all Indians are One Family.”
Arvind Kejriwal wrote on Twitter, “Thank you Shah Rukh ji for you kind words. Your generous contribution will touch many lives in this difficult hour.”
With this incredible initiative, Shah Rukh Khan has extended his support to his group of companies. From Government funds to 50,000 PPE kits, food requirements of 5500 Mumbai families, 2000 cooked meals to hospitals, 3 lakh meal kits for 10,000 people, grocery for 2500 daily wage workers in Delhi and 100 acid attack survivors, his range of initiatives aim to spread across the many segments of the society and are being lauded for the vision that the actor holds behind them.
In an effort to ensure that the basic necessities reach many who are being deprived of it in these trying times, the funds allocated will be distributed amongst the partners. The aim is not only to provide relief during the pandemic but also help raise awareness about COVID-19 and encourage more people to come forward and help.
