Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have joined the fight against the spread of Covid-19 as the power couple has started a fundraiser to help people in this time of crisis. The development came two days after IPL 2021, in which Virat was leading RCB, was suspended. The couple aims to raise Rs 7 crore for Covid relief and have donated Rs 2 crore in the fundraiser #InThisTogether, they said in a statement, reports Indian Express.
Anushka Sharma shared a video on Twitter wherein she and Virat pledged their support towards the Covid-19 relief work. She wrote, “As our country battles the second wave of Covid-19, and our healthcare systems are facing extreme challenges, it breaks my heart to see our people suffering. So, Virat and I have initiated a campaign #InThisTogether, with Ketto, to raise funds for Covid-19 relief.”
Anushka also shared another video later and wrote, “This is our chance to help. To support. To extend ourselves and do our bit. So, let’s do everything we can. We are #InThisTogether.”
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 for support. 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.”
